Jesters is very good, but they are a little overrrated at #3.
They are in the top-10 conversation for sure.
Rankings are definitely fun for players/parents. But at the end of the day, the goal should be developing players.
Very true but they are semi-related. You need to retain top players and recruit top players in order to get better so girls can develop. Rankings are a big part of both aspects. They aren't 100% accurate of course, but pretty close to it, especially end of year rankings after each club has played over 25 games.
The Fall rankings seem accurate too
they absolutely aren't...look at some of the clubs appearing in the Top 25 from out west out of nowhere after playing a ton of games against nobody for example - they will be long down the list come summer...plus rosters not having kids with other commitments in the fall etc. Some teams that were ranked Top 10 (FLG) barely played and didn't play enough games to be ranked for example.
Very true. With all due respect to "Boulder Rainbows", beating them by 10 should not get you the same points as beating #1 Hero's by 1.
You can take out Alliance Cal and HHH Nationals from the list. Jesters and YJ A both belong in top-10 as they are, but i expect Jesters to dip down into back top-10.
