[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Projecting US Club Rankings:
Top 5: M&D, MD United
Top 10: Heros green and BLC Blue
Top 20: Coppermine Black 
Top 50: YJDMV
Top 100: Next Level, Stars, Legends, CCLax
Top 200: Pride, Integrity, M&D Red, Heros White[/quote]

Has the VA talent fallen off this much that Pride is not considered a Top 200? Generally Pride’s MS teams were consistently ranked in the Top 20 and just three years ago their HS team was ranked as high as #8. What’s happened?[/quote]

Admittedly, I don't know a ton about the 2030 team, but Pride 2028s and 2029s are both top 20.  2027s top 25.  I would wait until the end of the 22023-24 season before you relegate them into the 5th tier.  6th grade is a developmental turning point for girls lax.

For those mocking the rankings, I get it, it's early to be pointing to a national ranking.  The thing that makes them legitimate in my view, however, is it's just math--no subjectivity.  Having had a couple of years in the system with an older daughter, there is enough data on comparative performance over time, that the US Club Lax rankings are a reasonably accurate reflection (or predictor) of competitive strength.  In short, the on-field results and the eye test are pretty close to the rankings.  They help set brackets at tournaments and are better than a wild guess on how to pair or compare teams. There are quirks, like when the Coppermine 2028's beat Eagle Stix for the NGLL Championship and dropped below them in the rankings the next week, and early season lists that don't make sense, but overall, they even out pretty well over the course of a season.

Prides 2028s will lose a good number to other clubs next year as will the 29s in two years.   The 2030 was a hot mess and parents jumped ship because they were not willing to stick it out due to mismanagement of the team.  A good portion of the top players left and the team sadly will be low because of the mismanagement that happened and won't attract that much talent back. Hence the lower potential ranking.  The 2031s are in the same boat as the 2030s.  [/quote]

What does "mismanagement" mean for a 2030 team?  [/quote]
