[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What’s interesting about these age groups is th disparity in skill as a team.  I can’t tell if it’s the coaching or if some kids on a team haven’t put in the work yet or what.  For example what makes the BLC 2033 team so good compared to the others?  Is it that they are comfortable passing and finding the open player to score?  Is it the talent?  Or something else?[/quote]

The talent seems to gravitate to one club or another each year.  For 2033 it’s BLC.  For 2034 it’s M&D DC.  Most of the girls play together on rec for a year or two before club so people see who’s got some talent.  For 2033 BLC, there’s an unusually strong group of parent coaches and parents generally.  Probably half the team has a parent who played D1 lax and a few of them coach.  [/quote]

I feel like this explains so much.  Where do most of the 2033 girls go to school?  Or are they from all over?

The one thing I see these younger teams really excel at is locating the open player and then passing vs. hero ball.  They also spread out really well.  Also helps that they can catch and throw.[/quote]

Lots of schools.  2033 is also Breslins daughters year.  [/quote]

And I agree on the spreading out and passing.  There’s also aggressiveness on ground balls and defense.  Plenty of the other teams have some girls with good stick skills, but only a few teams put together as a team that age.  My guess is this will equalize somewhat as they get older.  A lot of these girls have had sticks in their hands since they were able to walk.  [/quote]

Makes me think we started too late!

Aggressiveness is important too.  And agreed, it will equalize as they all learn and grow.  I’m just try to figure out what else I can tell my DD in this age group to help make her a better player so I’ve been watching insta clips from some of the games.  It’s insightful. Although the most impressive team I’ve ever seen in person in this age group was still M&D Black.[/quote]

Which M&D Black was the best you’ve seen as 3rd or 4th graders?  Did they go on to be dominant year after year?[/quote]

It was the 2033 team but as 4th graders.  So last year.  Not sure if that will stay the same year after year though.[/quote]

M&D Black 2033 went 2-6 in the NGLL A division last year.  M&D DC Black 2033 went 6-2 in the B division. You might be thinking of a different team.
