[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Stars runs several teams per age bracket. If you are on the A team or the B team,  you are going to get better coaching and face better teams in competition.  If you are on the lower level teams that don't travel as far afield, not so much. That's why Stars has a mixed reputation.

MVP Terps (or Royals, depending on the brand name that its owner Pudge Gjormand is using at the time) is also good. But Pudge, the coach of Madison HS, of course focuses on Madison boys, and pays less attention to others.   I give credit to Pudge: he promised that all of our boys would make their high school JV team if we joined Terps, and he was right!  We loved our Terps 13U and 14U coaches.  However, during high school the coaching and quality of  competition for non-Madison boys falls off quite a bit.

Eric Crozier at D-Bat is a wonderful person with actual MLB experience.  Unfortunately, his program is extremely disorganized.  We were in this program and every week was a communications and logistical nightmare.

There is an entire thread about DC Cadets/St. Johns and Coach Gibbs. Enough said.

There used to be a very good team called Virginia Hitmen in the McLean/Vienna/Reston area.  They were not for profit, so the costs were low.  The coach was very good technically and they played very good competition. Unfortunately, he was also very eccentric and the team folded 3 years ago.

In other words, there is no perfect program. They all have mixed reputations. The question is your own boys' talent and capability and work ethic, and how that meshes with the programs.[/quote]

Just a note that the DBAT teams are now the showcase teams under the Mizuno Outlaws, just in case any PPs are trying to find Crozier.

And a +1 to everything else. Basically it all comes down to the coaches your son's individual team gets at some of the bigger organizations.[/quote]
