Whichever your DD makes is better obviously :P

Haha. This statement is so true.

It really is. Listening to the moms and dads [Censored] talk UA tryouts 2 years ago when their Ds didn't make the callback game was classic lax parenting. No princess, they didn't realize how awesome you are but mommy and daddy do.

UA, which is now NB, is extremely political. The club coaches pick the team, favor their own players and play their own players over better girls. Happens every year. I am not disgruntled. My daughter made the team every year. And every year the same nonsense goes on and the team looses due to selfishness. I think AS is a better run event and a true showcase.

Wow, I couldn’t disagree more and the numbers also disagree. The majority of AS, and I mean the majority, come from the club where the coach comes from. UA has a wide range of club teams represented. Of course there will be some political decisions but from my older girls, who between them have played on both, it seems that UA is better run, better value, and better coached event. It also leads to the UA senior game which it seems is extremely important to the girls

Senior game honorees are selected by IL, and have little to do with getting picked for regional AA teams. It’s the top ranked recruits that are chosen, many who never played UA. I agree that UA/AA is a better value, but in terms of recruiting exposure, it will be more even playing time and not as much play to win at AS. If your daughter is trying to get recruited, I think AS has been better in the past. This year AA is offering a new division, “burn” It will be interesting to see how that goes. AA coaches have spoiled the team with their bias most every year.
