[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]M&D is not performing well at the elementary school level. The club's days of dominance may be on the way out.  [/quote]

Is this supposed to be a troll or are you just so caught up in your kids elementary school athletic career that you think ANY of the scores and results at this age matter? Clubs like M&D and Heros do not need to worry if their 4th grade teams are not dominant - they can develop the players they have a continue to attract top talent over the years as well so that when it actually matters they will have HS teams with depth.

Clubs without a good reputation have to flip this around because if their teams are not dominant young, they risk losing their players to more well-established clubs. Look at the current recruiting class. Coppermine 2028 (good club, but not a great recruiting history) had the most dominant team in the country for years - consistently top 3 through 7th grade. But they were so worried about losing their girls that they constantly prioritized winning at all costs over development and opportunities for all their players. Seems like the logic was that if they're the best, people wouldn't leave. And for a while they didn't, but then as people got closer to recruiting years, many of the very good players who weren't getting the development or opportunities they needed said - were out of here - and now they're ranked 40th.

M&D has always been dominate at the younger age groups (the 31s and 30s were killers from the beginning) until they sold to 3 Step...  it's fair to point this out, Hero's has not suffered the same fate and remained pretty consistent - yea sure they are gonna add a few every year but Hero's doesn't blow up teams like M&D seems to be doing in their Elem years now.
