[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sorry to digress from the original topic ... but a few corrections...

1) VA Glory did NOT used to be Vienna Stars. Vienna Stars folded several years ago and Glory (who already existed) became affiliated with Vienna Girls softball league. It appears that VGSL will be associated with Mizuno Outlaws as the new travel branch of VGSL. The newer incarnation of the old Vienna Stars is Stars National, which has several teams on the east coast, but only older teams locally.

2) Shamrocks and Shooting Stars are good organizations and have some great teams. But I have a feeling that LLG, Glory and Team Virginia Mizuno (among many others) would dispute the assertion that Shamrocks and Shooting Stars are the "best teams in the immediate area".

3) Impact is affiliated with Arlington Girls Softball Association - but is NOT a re-branding of Sage. Sage still exists. Half the players in Impact are not from Arlington and never played for Sage. They have announced there will also be a 14U futures team and a 16U National next year (also not limited to Arlington residents or former Sage players).

Happy to see girls of ALL levels grow a love of the sport. No need to team-bash here or opine as to the "best". We are fortunate to live in an area where there is a team for everyone at every level.

At the 10U level, Team Virginia Mizuno has two teams. The B team is 2-17-1 in class and ranks 19 out of 22 in the state. The C team is 8-11-1.

The Shamrocks are basically an A team, but there are no other A teams in Virginia so it is classified as a B team. They are 37-5-2 and four of their losses are to 12U teams.

The Shooting Stars are 25-4-1.

Lady Lightning Gold doesn’t even field a 10U team.

I know less about older ages currently.

And yes, when the Vienna Stars folded, the Glory stepped in to replace them. They sponsor the same tournaments the Vienna Stars used to sponsor.

Organizations come and go. Baseliners used to be among the best but now they only have a 12U team, for example. And today’s Shamrocks are not the same organization that Tommy Orendorf took to win 18U Gold Nationals many years ago.

But spare me this talk about Team Virginia Mizuno.
