18U Pa Team Rankings
This site was created to give a balance of information. In looking at the other sites and forums we have noticed a lot of misinformation, hopefully we can clear some of this up.
We intend to give a fair and reasonable view point. We do consider winning, losses and strength of schedule. (note: in all of sports some teams will have one that got away, that does not mean that one team is better then another, sure on that day, yes, but in the long haul no)
Voting teamz network, we will not have another 18U poll till Jun 25. Yes, we are aware of some players moving around over the winter, but for most of the organizations "below" this just seems to be typical for this time of year. So this will remain as the final pre-season poll
2009 Preseason Poll
1. Tuff 'n' Tuffer Gold
2. Newtown Rock Gold
3. Chaos Gold

9. Blazing Angels Gold
10. Pitts Spirit Gold (plays A)
What we find amazing is teams that try to build their reputation on a very weak schedule. What is most impressive about some teams in PA is their willingness to face the BEST in the nation EVERY WEEKEND. These teams seem to send players to college that are well prepared their freshman year.

One special note: in PA there are over 150 18U travel teams, in eastern PA , there are over 95 travel teams. This has caused a huge delusion of talent. And a bigger problem in just simply fielding a 12 girl roster. Unfortunately some travel parent coaches will resort to lies and what ever other means necessary to field a team, including finding forums to spread there venom.
