Some teams form new teams if there is enough interest.
EYBL is a bit different, as those clubs have some younger age teams but the girls on those younger teams rarely develop enough to make the EYBL teams for those clubs.
As far as GTS, it’s the Fudd family. They have had some decent teams, but recently fallen off and lost sponsorships. I’d take Fairfax Stars or Elevate Elite over GTS. Hurricanes are more like the Vogues - decent at the younger age groups but not a serious club past like 7th grade.
Agree with most of this but Hurricanes are not like the Vogues at the younger ages. They're a lot better. They're like the Vogues at the HS level.
