Red Hots got smoked in Orlando by both west coast stars and Bostons phinest.
That wasn't Red Hots National. Maybe 50% of the Circuit team was able to play in Orlando. Many kids had to play for their primary club. 6 kids alone played for West Coast Stars and 2 for Boston's Finest.
Red Hots brought in their AA Pittsburg kids and even 3 2030's as replacements.
Noone is beating the Red Hots National Circuit team.
Red Hots handing out #1 ranking rings this week…. Now this is pure comedy. Embarrassed for them.
They have 100 rings made up since it’s not a fixed roster. Changes at every tournament! Joke
Jokes on you and your underperforming kid. Most active national teams have to have larger rosters because players are expected to prioritize their local club. Also, kids can’t be expected to fly in for every tournament.
Bottom line, even their 6 attackman on the depth chart is better than your first.
The Red Hots team has one player who is a difference maker. He’s in 8th grade so couldn’t play on the ‘29 team in Orlando as the tournament was grade based. Without him the ‘29 team is still a pretty good team but not world beaters. Based on conversations this weekend I think you’ll see some of those kids drop prior to Circuit finals. A team built around only one player that dodge isn’t for others. Not to mention the negative reputation of the team after said player was ejected a couple weeks ago.
You have NO idea what you are talking about. Red Hots Circuit team has literally 2 1/2 lines of midfield and 2 Attackman that could start on any other Circuit team.
The team that went to Club Nationals was missing 90% of their midfield, one attackman and half the defense.
Yes, the 2028 midfielder is a difference maker but so are 6-8 other kids on the club. In fact, when they drilled Mojo, the 2028 midfielder had maybe 2 goals out of the 13 that they scored.

The Circuit is an absolute joke! Roster up a 100 players and give them age exemptions if they simple ask for it.
Sounds like another jealous dad whose kid either didn’t make a team or whose team got waxed… there are 2 age exemptions available per team at the 29 level. And those exemptions allow players born after Jan 1, 2010.
As for roster size…. Last time I checked there were only 10 players on the field. How exactly does that fourth line midfielder or 11th pole help a team?
Anyone who can’t see through the smoke and mirrors is likely partaking in this foolishness. Red Hots is a team from Pittsburgh that couldn’t compete in the lowest levels of rec in NY, MD, Philly, etc, there are like 5 kids playing lacrosse in Pittsburgh. So— they go out and create a traveling circus of kids from all over, with a flashy Instagram page, and all of a sudden, they have money pouring in (evident by their branded Sprinter Van).
Good for the guys in Pittsburgh who saw a marketing opportunity, and monetized it. Parents are starved for opportunities to see their kids perform. They’ll pay for it.
But to think that this is anything more than an Instagram marketing ploy that will vanish when these kids get into high school (in lieu of the real club teams and showcase events) is fooling themselves. But heck, enjoy it while it lasts, and parade around that championship ring in the meantime!
Your comment about the van tells us that you know nothing more than what you’ve seen on social media.
It’s odd how people get so twisted over this. National teams are simply an additional opportunity for your kid to play at a high level. (if he has the talent and your wallet can tolerate it)
You're exactly right... Red Hots National has virtually zero kids from Pittsburgh. Their roster is comprised of top kids from elite programs around the country. They play for RHN when their local club is off. It's additional playing time with other elite players. The only people complaining are the ones who either A. can't afford the cost to play on a national team or B. have a kid who didn't make a top national team.
I will say that I do feel that National teams playing in local club tournaments is an issue. National teams shouldn't be playing events like NLF, NAL or Naptown. That's why the Circuit is such a great idea.
