[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I agree with the above.  Because we are in a hotbed, our "B" team players are typically as talented, and certainly as knowledgeable about the game, as "A" players from non-hotbed areas.  [/quote]
Just to be clear. The post referred to B teams not players as a response to a comment about evaluating clubs based on the B team’s ability to get enough players. A player on a D3 college team is not a B player in HS. The B team or second team is often not close to the top team and players do not move up. It would be better for those players to move to the A team of a lesser brand name club. Lots of clubs out there besides the ones often mentioned here. [/quote]

I understood your post quite clearly.  My daughter is on a B team.  It is quite full as is the A team.  Girls move up and down from A to B as needed.  Both teams are strong for the level they are in.  In fact there are some on the A team who had mixed feelings about being placed there, because the coach is so awesome on the B team.  His approach is all about development with a strong desire to win, of course.  My daughter has been playing lacrosse for a very short time, but has made so much progress with this team.  Much better than the rec team she was on.  We had some wins already at a tournament this year.  I would guess some of these girls will handily end up on a varsity team at the high school.  That is really our only hope.  We are not relying on LAX for college placement, LOL.  DD can accomplish that quite easily with her academics if needed, and maybe even walk on to play some day, depending on the school.

Bottom line, B teams have at least two purposes:  development of a skillful player with a lot of potential or for the player who is not interested in college placement, but wants to play varsity in HS.[/quote]
