18U New England Team Rankings: Welcome
18U New England 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)

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 NE 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 NE there are over "165" 18U 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.
