So.. can a True parent chime in? What's the vibe on that team. Is everyone cool with the kids flying in to play? How many kids have been relegated? Do they keep flying in players for the end of the season without having the success they hoped for?
True did win two close games and made a braggadocios IG post that “True Chesapeake” was becoming one of the best 2028s in the country.
Then proceeded to lose.
It’s just ridiculous that they are trying to mask that they are running out true national and calling it true chesapeake.
All remaining families of actually local true kids should leave.
Using any of the 50+ roster national teams as examples, clearly anybody can call anything a "team chesapeake" and see how they fare in whatever rankings. Leagues and tournaments will happily take their money.
As has been dragged into the ground on BOTC, True MD staff are likely on their last chances to show that they can field teams that are both competitive and profitable. The True Annapolis/Chesapeake teams, bought from other clubs, have been spared no expense (fee waivers, free helmets, etc) to recruit the best talent and even pull talent (rostered or not) from other True programs - whenever needed. Yet after this huge cash infusion focused on the "true annapolis experiment," the brand is still Truly unremarkable in the GA-SC-NC-VA-MD-PA-DE-NJ-NY ecosystem. Even in FL-GA-SC Sweetlax, 3D, and 91 are eating their lunch. In MD, I'm glad they've established Glen Burnie as their HQ, but nothing else is significant about them.
Go back to Illinois, True.
