More importantly, who are the evaluators and what club affiliation do they have? Then you will be able to determine which kids are pre-determined to make it. Pretty much how it goes every year.


it will be dominated by 91 2018. Caputos son now plays for 91. No chance for anyone else. Plain and simple.


Because the coaching representation changes yearly. This year his son plays for 91 Extreme a 2018 team and last year he didn't. No excuses just facts. A lot of players are selected by reputation not performance. Depends on who you play for and who's lawn you mow. Also doesn't hurt to have the directors son play for your team. If two players are close in talent who do you think will get the nod.This is not good for Brine a national brand. Wish they would bring in unbiased evaluators not coaches of local teams.


You're 100 percent correct. Last year in the HS tryout they had local HS coaches, not from strong programs. Just so happens 3 or 4 players from each HS coach got on the team. Imagine the chances??? It seems so simple to get non biased evaluators from outside the area. Certainly enough money involved to make that happen. Bit of a sham job... Good lesson for the kids in "it's who you know, not what you know". Happens in every facet of life.
