Poll

This poll isn't very good. I don't think any of those are. The #16 listed team won the Independence Day in CO should be ranked higher in a true ranking. Gold Coast Hurricanes - Norman is attending. Gold Coast Hurricanes - Cooper their top team is in ASA. At least one of the top 20 when have a hard time beating your 14U team and are not close to that organizations standards. Just when you think I am picking on your post this is a great tournament because some of those teams are as good as it gets. The winner of ASA or Premier could go head to head and be a great game. The top 4 at ASA would do well against the other Premier teams. The Premier tournament has much better teams from top to bottom. Maybe someone will get smart and have a playoff of the top 4 from each tournament and put it on TV so we can see a true National Champ.
I hope LL does real well in both age groups. It should be great time for your players! Good Luck Lightning!!

 

Just got back from cali. Good luck. You should do well. The teams listed in top 20, should include more from Florida. Teams down there are better than those out west!

 

Cooper's team is at the PGF National. Not Norman.

 

You are right I got that backwards

Looking at their schedule one team was playing ASA and the other Premier. It wouldn't shock me if they are a mixture of the two. They didn't do as well as they would like in ASA.

 

Here's their ASA roster and PGF roster. Some minor differences, but the 3 you mentioned are playing both. btw, two weeks in southern California isn't exactly purgatory

Best of luck

 

Saw that too

I noticed different names pitching that I didn't see in ASA. Bache and Jury did all the pitching there and never turned to a number 3. Their website had it with 2 teams playing the other location. It will be interesting to see how they do if they stick with Bache and Jury compared to their ASA performance. Looked like the other too kids they pitched were beat up.

 

SoCal

No but its bad on a wallet and as much as those kids love playing I am sure they have had enough.
