Ranking then at this age is ridiculous. The top teams will most likely stay that way. FLG and YJ will retain the top talent and take it from other clubs. Some movement will happen between the A and B in that club as the rockstars who peak at 12 level out and others catch up. The other A teams will have plenty of rotation. This year you will see a lot of movement. By 9th and 10th grade the kids stay where they are. Parents hopefully realize what their kids potential is or isn’t and are ok with it and stop yelling use your left from the sidelines. There are a small percentage of scholarships out there. Try not to hang your hat that your kid is definitely going to get one. And that free ride for lax you are expecting is slim to none. Been through this with my older one. Play travel because they love the sport and are having fun. Stop chasing the next best A team and don’t count the B team kids out yet. They are only 11/12.

FLG? Top “A” club team? Looking for a team for my daughter and was wondering, because people say different. Is the 6th grade level better at FLG than it’s older teams?

Clubs can vary by year. The FLG team at this age is good. Not sure if I think they are better than YJ A but up there. The YJ also have made a strong B team that would beat most A teams. Don’t get so hung up on A&B. Find a coach with a good track record that has a philosophy that you agree with. Just because an organization has an A & B team means nothing. Their A team may be better than their B but can’t compete with other legit A teams. Wait till they start adding AA teams! These clubs will carry as many teams as they can. Even if they can’t compete.
