Funny you would say that cause several of the girls from AS Red and Yellow are on the team.

My kid made call back game, she played fine, thought she had a chance to make it but could see her also not making it which is what happened.

Looking at the final club representation has me thinking the AS Red and even yellow would roll this AA team.

Doesnt matter though, Baltimore and LI AA are only ones with real talent and nobody else has a shot. This AA team will take the championship.

Maybe DC if they get enough of MD kids to come to pair with BLC kids.

I think it's more about the #153 ranked team... SW may not have the depth of the top teams but they do have some solid players.

Things about to get spicy on this thread.

Are you trying to imply that 6 players from the #27 & #153 ranked teams got invited because of their coaches picking roster and not based on evaluations at tryouts?

Fixed this to show who the other coach is affiliated with.

Looking at AA Baltimore 2030 by club & 2025 final ranking

3 M&D Black #2
1 MDU #3
7 Hero’s Green #6
4 Coppermine #9
0 BLC #10 (likely DC team)
4 Skywalkers #27 (coach of team)
1 Crush #33
2 Integrity #153 (coach of team)
1 2031 (HG)

Seems underrepresented at M&D and MDU but no idea how many from those teams tried out.

That is always the question - who actually attended the tryouts? 3 of the 4 AS Maryland coaches are M&D coaches, so I have a hunch most of them will go there. the other is MDU.

Was there anyone that excelled at tryouts and got left out?

So only 1 2031 made it? Why even combine age groups?

That was indicative of how competitive Baltimore was. Other regions were more of a mix. DC team had 4 or 5 players who were 2030s playing with 29s last year and so did other regions.

Up until two years ago, AA didn’t have a team for rising 9th graders.

I honestly think they added a rising 9th grader team and allowed rising 8th to try out to try to keep pace with AS.

Last year only 1 2030 made it.

Advantage:
no B teams so that helps in making more exclusive

Less regions overall

The AA Senior game is a big deal and it helps to have AA under your belt

Disadvantage:
Outside of LI & MD, the competition is really poor with some regions really struggling due to AS being the top option


AS imo better with social media, tied to hip with BIC which leads to more opportunities.

While I think it really depends on what your kid is looking for, I agree with above 100%

I generally agree. AS has done an amazing job of marketing, which is what much of this is. Have done both and feel AS coaching and event was not as good as AA in our experience, but it’s well marketed and packaged, if that makes sense.
