FL Select loses by five goals twice today in Fl. To YJA and Eagle Stix. I think 5-8 range is about right.

M&D beat ACES + STEPS so we are still strong.

Kudos to Skywalkers for having a strong showing

Skywalkers is vastly improved since last year. Very impressed with their athletic ability. They are in the top 10 now

I’d say 10-12 since they are still gelling as a team but clearly improved significantly.

They had really solid wins over 180, Steps, Mass Elite and some close loses against FS and M&D which is surprising considering their previous struggles.

I'm not sure about top 10 talk. Let's not get ahead of ourselves. But good for them for a solid showing.

And? They are looking solid this year. Started out rough, but that is to be expected for a team that has as many new girls as they do. I would expect them to compete with the top ten by the end of the summer.

They seemed ok to me. But you would be salty as well if you flew across the country, spent all that money and performed like they did. I'd be a little heated too.

Loud and aggressive. Maybe not crossing the line, but really close. Too much aggressive yelling about girls needing cards and refs missing stuff. I get the yelling, but honestly there's an art to yelling/cheering that doesn't involve making people think you want to fight or need to be punched in the face.

9-20 is anyone can win depending on the day.

I’m a Maryland guy…But if you watched any of the past 2 weeks and don’t have Florida Select in the top 3 you don’t know what you’re talking about.

M&D had to stall against them to pull out a tie. Eaglesticks got beat by them and yesterday FS gave Heros all it could handle and lost by 1 after up by 2 late. I heard FS added 3 new players one from the Midwest and they are the most athletic team in the country. Defense is strong as well.

The look like their players were built in a lab. You need to win the draw and slow it down to beat them.

Ha ha they really do. Makes me wonder how many FS players are reclassed my guess is a lot.

Replying to your own comments over and over to try and make FL Select seem more relevant is a great effort. But they are a top 6-7 team. Nothing more. Nobody is sweating them.
Lol good catch.
FL Select has done strong athletes and prototype draw girl. But I'm not buying them being a perennial top 5. No chance. The M&D game (FS loss)and the SW game (FS win) boiled down to running clear out isolation for one player, who accounted for 8 goals in those games. That's winning games, not top 5 team play. I'd be shocked if well coached teams don't account for that once club restarts in earnest.

Select is a very good team.

Cap Blue has lost to M&D by 4 twice recently, and beaten SW by +/- 6 twice recently. Not sure where that puts them but probably in that 7-10 range depending on where others are ranked? Anyone looking to take a stab at a post Fall top 10? Where is the NGLL Handicapper from last year?

Cap Blue had a very unimpressive weekend, only 2 pt win over Phantastix, and 1 pt win over AIM?

In no way are they a top 10 team as of this fall.

In no order,

M&D
YJ
HG
FS
Aces
ES

After that I am not sure, lots of odd scores.

Cap Blue reminds me of a slightly less athletic FL Select.

I'm not drinking the Cap Blue Kool-Aid, but think they would have to go in that 7-10 range? Certainly can't put SW ahead of them.

Based on what I saw from SW over the weekend if they can keep gelling and add a player or two then they could be top 10-12 by Fall 2024.

My rankings based on what I've seen so far. No particular order within the groups

Group A -- HG, YJA, M&D, Eagle Stix, Aces

Group B -- Mass Elite, Alliance, Step CA, Jesters, Prime time, FL Select

Group C -- SW, Steps Navy, Team 180, Capital, Monster

Group D -- Laxachusettes, NXT, Southern Zone, MDU, Liberty


I probably bump up Capital and Aces a group based on roster composition more than performance for the spring

Massive gap between B and C; less of a gap between A and B

Capital Blue based on what exactly? Give me a few scores that support this.

SW? Not sure about that one either.

Add a player or two? Do we expect much movement for final season of club (that matters). Lots can change in a year for sure.

Jesters and FS should be after the usual 5 (M&D Heros Aces ES YJ) don’t really know which is before the other (they both could be in top 5 too). Jesters tied Heros at 4-4, the only other team to do that is M&D who beat them. Their defense is very good per usual and their offensive has seriously stepped up. YJ and ES beating FS by almost 5 does not look good for FS. However they are still freakishly athletic. And have some great players.

I would think all teams are pretty set at all clubs at this point.

Maybe some move up or down from A to B teams but that is about it.

Did the jesters pick up some new players? Their offense was stagnant last year.

I agree, after the top five jesters looks the most impressive, they didn’t even look comparable against Prime Time. Definitely need to see them play more though.

Couple things stand out:

Why is PT up in group B?
Same from Monster in group C

I feel like Jesters and FS belong in Group A2 by themselves.

I’ll be glad when rankings come out because lots of things seem off so far in fall.

I think they did… their offense looks completely diffrent. I know they got a new goalie and I don’t remeber a few of their high scorers in the fall from last year.

There is a very clear top 5 and then next two with jesters and FS. After that, it is a hodgepodge to round out top 20 of anyone can win.

Lots of solid teams in the 8-20 range.

That Jesters team looks nothing like their team in the past. Defense is not as suffocating but their offense is vastly improved. I’m sure the defense will tighten up by the summer tourneys. Great to have another solid top 5-10 team in the mix.

Will see this summer. They still have a top offensive player returning from surgery.
