Do people not understand that it is just a numbers game? When the Smithton kids get to high school they will be split and their teams "Half" as good--not quite but close. Of course they are better than teams puling from player pools 50-75% their size or smaller in some cases. Also there are plenty of other town teams who could do well playing vs the clubs--these town teams play together all year round. As the kids get older the club teams tend to get much much better.
That being said good for Smithtown 2028's--they are a great team. Lots of strong players and have never heard opposing kids complain about the way their kids play. The complaints are always about the coach and parents.
