[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]this is a long shot but anyone have any decent info on True Baltimore teams .. specifically 2030s but really any of them - how is that program for developing youth players etc. where do they mainly pull from. [/quote]

This is probably a better question for Back of the Cage. But, take everything there with a big grain of salt. I can't tell you anything about the 30 team beyond it wasn't really associated with the mess I write below.

I can tell you that True Baltimore is sort a mish-mash of a club True sort of started on their own (or they purchased someone else but don't remember - doesn't really matter). True also purchased Koopers about 18 months ago. Merging the existing True teams and Koopers teams has not gone well for some of the age groups like the 2029s and 2027s - most of this is because the Koopers coaches felt "above" the True teams because most of the Koopers teams played in higher HOCO Divisions. This year True wanted to reshuffle the rosters on all the teams and create A and B teams, and, thus mixing the "Koopers" kids and the True kids. The Koopers coaches at those age levels resisted and basically took their ball and went to other programs - the 29 coach went to Predators (even though it likely means his team will play in a lower HOCO division than the year before) and I think the 27 coach went to Prostart.[/quote]

Probably should preface this by saying youngest team Koopers had before acquisition was 2029 so 2030 team would not have legacy Koopers/True issues, to the extent that exists

The coaches that left were legacy Koopers coaches and also parent coaches.  My understanding, which could be wrong, is that True planned on adding head coaches to these teams that were True coaches and also not parents. It isn’t atypical for clubs to move away from parent coaches as kids get close to the high school level.[/quote]
