Top Parents Bragging:
1. Heros
2. MND
3. SW

No other teams should be considered. The rest are B teams.

HAHAHAHHAAHAHA. Okay MND dad!

UA150 deadline was last night. Do they pick more from top teams or do they try to spread it out between lots of teams? Also, do the Club coaches rate the players on their teams for this?

Here are last year's rosters: https://www.underarmour150.com/index.cfm?do=cnt.page&pg=1019

Seems to be dominated by Sky Walkers and M&D girls (represent 20% of rosters). Not sure how the evaluation is done....

UA150 is the same week as Girls High School National Championships. MD schools did not go last year for some reason which is why there are more MD girls at UA150. HS National Championship sidelines full of top coaches. Anyone whose hs team is invited to Nationals is not going to UA. Look at the coach lists. Better coaches at HS Nationals for sure.

59 Maryland girls on last years 2024 roster. Of those 59, 35 from M&D, SW and heros FYI. Girls national championships no Maryland teams last year.

While not a top team, Garrison Forest will have 2 likely starters and another 2-3 who at a minimum will be solid rotation players. Still expect them to be bottom of the league this year, but can see them getting to middle of the pack in a year or two.

Ummmm, not even close. Plus the top players at Nationals are usually committed. Many schools will send coaches to both, but it is usually assistant to National Championships

Not close because the top coaches are at HS Nationals:

Head Coaches (most had multiple coaches there): Dartmouth, Harvard, Stanford, Michigan, Notre Dame, Cornell, Hopkins, Ohio State, Penn, Rutgers plus Phil Barnes (UNC) and Jen Kent (BC). UNC and BC didn't even go to UA. Michigan didn't go either sent whole staff to HS tourney.

Not all high schools go so UA is also a good option but not the same level of coaches there.

Not so. Same level.

UA 150 is owned and operated by Robinson sports…….

Do the 150 for film - my dd did it her first year.
Lots of other regions come in with players. A girl on her team from FL is now going to Brown. Tall and athletic but was very green in experience- so it doesn’t matter your skills!
The only reason the M&D, SW girls do it is because they are proactive about getting into college for lax. You need to have a few small references
And some video lined up for the application. Moot point at this time. But you must be fwd
thinking!
I was talking with a mom from HS team and she had told me she skipped Texas this year as a 24! That’s not the year to be skipping!

All the area team except NEMS. They didn’t think it was worth the trip.

It’s free to apply so what’s to lose?
Also get the film so the the coaches know to check into your games by the time the G8 or MidAtlantic starts!
Tell your coach/ director that you want the team to play up in tournaments so you get seen more.
At this point in your playing it’s more about showcasing than winning. Get selfish. Sorry.
