I no don’t think so.

I can’t speak to the 2007/2008/2009 girls but here is what we are seeing for the younger groups:

2010s — hard to know but the union team is exceptional for that age/year. Hopefully this team stays strong and starters don’t drift to other clubs.

For the 2011s girls it seemed to be entirely skills/position/player based. Quotas for each team were not part of the equation. There may be more past union players on the final list but it looks like they moved fairly far into both club’s current rosters to build this team. [b]At least three high quality union players are going elsewhere and some of them were clear starters in this year’s team.[/b] Only one external player know to have received an offer.

Feels like 2012s were a complete selection process from scratch and very much determined at the ID sessions. Hard to make these kinds of decisions with so many available and skilled young players. [/quote]

Unfortunately, this is part of the process and parents will do what is best for their kid. For the kids that are leaving that do not have offers in hand, we wish them well and best of luck to them. For the ones that have offers and going elsewhere (including DB's team @ NVA), the grass is not always greener and we wish them well too. There will always be new equivalent or better talent to take their place. [/quote]

You are wrong about the 2012s too. [/quote]

Not PP but which part? "There will always be new equivalent or better talent to take their place?"
Some top players are going to SYC so it could be true if those folks want to move in the future. There also are always head-scratcher selections that presumably will be sorted out and corrected in future years and 2012 is no different. Still a talented group and will be competitive.[/quote]
