I've had to listen to a someone complaining recently about their kid's situation. And it got me thinking about what attributes separate and AA player from B from C, etc.

Think Madden rankings. AA players will be high in most of these:
size
strength
speed / athleticism
lacrosse iq
intensity / competitiveness / aggression
stick skills (cradling, shooting, gbs)

B players might be low in 1 or 2 of those areas, but high in the rest. etc.

What say you? Not to stir the pot. But helpful in trying to calmly/diplomatically/tactfully trying to explain to other why their kid didn't make x team.
