Haha. All digs and jokes aside—some of which were definitely from me—they are very good and work hard. Hats off to them. It’s hard to stand that far above their peers.

That they’ve pulled that far away from Hero’s Green (recent score) is evidence. Hopefully iron sharpens iron and all ‘34s rise toward their level. Parity is always a good thing. Hoco doesn’t want to walk over everyone, I’m presuming.

Kudos to HOCO for even creating this statement. Prior to the 33 group, I don’t think a HOCO team had ever come close to a Hero’s green team, let alone beat them, now Hero’s is hoping to overtake them eventually! lol

2024s were beating M&D black in middle school before everyone left for the big clubs.

Hoco starts decently in some ages but then everyone leaves for bigger clubs.

Will be interesting to see if that continues to happen, there are a lot of more clubs now and a lot more talent out there. If you only have 2-3 girls that you run your team through, you are at risk of having them poached by a "better" club. If the team has a strong coach who is developing players - girls should be far less likely to leave for a "premiere" club.

Calling the HOCO coach slightly psychotic is being incredibly kind. And their team may have some great athletes and dominate on the field but they have a terrible reputation off the field. I would run far away from that club if I had younger daughters who wanted to play.

Wow I wonder what these 4th graders are doing off the field... Smoking, Drinking, drugs? Out late partying?

I agree, "slightly psychotic" is an incredibly kind characterization of the HOCO coach. She constantly gets in fights with the refs. And they have a terrible reputation ON and off the field. Those girls are coached to intentionally foul (and do weird stuff like bark), and they're not fun games to watch because there is a penalty/yellow card on HOCO every 10 seconds. I have several daughters in the NGLL, and have never seen a team as out of control as that team. It's not fun to see it happen against girls that young. The majority of the 2034s played up in second grade which is why the older HOCO teams aren't as good. I'm not disputing they have good players, it's just sad they're being coached to play dirty as 4th graders. Teach them how to win the right way.

HOCO 34 cares about winning at all cost.
Their aggressive fouls have injuring girls so badly they could not return to the field. Your daughters should forfeit. It’s not worth the risk.

We experienced this last year (my daughter was playing up a year on a B team). Just foul after foul after foul and coach aggressively encouraging it and hounding ref for calling them on it, despite it being clear they’d crush this B team. Only other teams (coaches and players) we saw this with to some extent was Skywalkers ‘34 and CCLax ‘34. I had figured Hoco moved beyond that type of play but sounds like no. Is this an experience this season?

No idea what you mean about reputation of the team off the field. As for the coach, she definitely has a negative reputation as a HS coach from a parent perspective. I don’t know that her ‘34 team has complaints. Only one or two who left last year were due to lack of playing time. Guess those kids are a fit with her or like being No. 1 enough to stay.

It seems the ‘33 team had some sort of an exodus last year due to that coach (and maybe club). I heard she’s also a bear.

In good news though, no barking! That must be new this year.

The older Hoco teams not being good has nothing to do with the 2034s. They were never good and the overall club is ranked incredibly low. It’s been a landing place for girls who want a little more than rec. Having a good team, let alone as winning as the 2034s is new and unique to that coach coming to the table with a team from Carroll County. But there are always a number of clubs that have good youth teams for the first two years that never translates into more. Rebels, FLC, Broadneck (‘34s), Limelight, Hoco, etc.

In addition, Hoco forms a formal team a year before NGLL eligibility. That helps them have very competitive teams at the youngest age. For instance, they have a ‘36 team that is fully formed right now and competing in MYLA (or something) and goes to fall and summer tournaments. They are being indoctrinated into pink and flamingos to keep them around next year. The 2035 team played together last year for an entire season and tournaments. Whereas Hero’s just had their developmental clinic series (gets them the top talent pool but they come with zero experience playing in real games or together) and M&D had literally nothing (no feeder at all, so at the biggest disadvantage starting out but obviously they pick up steam as the years go on).

Weirdly, Skywalkers has a 2035 team but it’s not in NGLL. Anyone know why?
