[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Are certain teams within Metro less competitive than others?  We are looking at the South teams since they are closer to our house.  Would be U13.  Just wondering if a complete waste of time to try out.[/quote]

I have the same question with regard to Central. [/quote]

At U13 last year, Travel > North > South PW > East.  There was a significant competitive difference at each level.  Travel is one of the best teams in the region (#2), North was #21, South was ~#45, East was ~#73 (based on national ranks). For reference, there were 92 teams in the region last year.

In general, there is a big difference between Travel and North, and an even bigger difference between North and the rest of the Metro regional teams.  The exception last year was at 14U and 16U where the South PW team outperformed North in the rankings.  Not sure if that's because of a easier schedule (North competes for Bids, South PW didn't last year) for South though.

Metro Central tends to be the lowest performing of all the Metro regional teams.  Last year their teams were the lowest ranked across all Metro teams for all ages.

The best way to answer your question is to go to a clinic held for that particular region and age group and see what you think. Without knowing your skill/experience level it’s tough to tell anyone if trying out for a specific team is a good idea or not.[/quote]

The current skills clinics for Central are being offered now are combined with Travel.  So totally skewed perception.  They don’t differentiate.  Plus for skills clinics they combine grades 6-12 and they break you down by skill level, with better players on one court, less skilled players on another.[/quote]
