What are your thoughts on 12u - Cooperstown year always awesome - who in MD is top 10 or so
Olney and RBA Royals return and should be tough
Is Calvert Tide still playing 12U
Mid-Atlantic Shockers have three teams
Gambrills, Elkridge, Lake Shore should be good
Mid- Atlantic red Sox?
Any one else jump out?

Steve,
That last response is probably why the boards have gone silent for the most part. Not sure who is trying to represent 12U Tide but I will go out on a limb and say that person isnt a part of our team....hope not anyway.
And yes we are still playing 12U, registered in a bunch of tournaments too....lol. Start of our season is a month away and can't wait to get back on the field. Indoor workouts are great but this tease with the weather gets me ready to go.
And until someone can beat them on a regular, Olney is still the team to beat and they got stronger this year from what I have heard. This year should be fun and i'm sure alot of teams will have different looks with some of their kids hitting manhood earlier than others.
Looking forward to seeing everyone on the field this year. From what I have seen we are in tournaments with just about everyone that visits the boards regularly so it should be fun this year. We are in cooperstown in early June this year, I know everyone is looking forward to that trip this year. Looking forward to seeing everyone on the diamond shorlty!
Chris

I almost died laughing. Get a clue admin. Most normal humans don’t post any more based on the “wizard” admin with rankings and the idiotic comments from people. Enough said.

The rankings have no credibility. But they could. Whoever is doing these needs to identify themselves and then openly communicate with coaches in each age group to get it right. I know the 13's pretty well. Lots of teams misplaced. One glaring example. SP is lower than API. OK, Sp is def not top 5, maybe top 10, but they are definitely in front of API. Every time they play each other SP 10 runs them. So flip flop these 2 and then ask for input. If coaches were asked for input they would be a lot closer than they are. Also Lake Shore Top 10?  No chance. 15-20 at best. |

I think rankings the teams are tough. Do you know how this site ranks? How do you know 13u, are you a coach at this age? No disrespect but I am not sure a random posters opinion is better than this site method of ranking teams. The big diamond does make a difference from 12u. A big slow team can hit HR's and big very good then struggle at 13u. A fast 12u team with good bats and pitching will be top 10 at 12u but at 13u can be dominating and really push top teams now. The rankings will improve as the spring moves on. The rankings have no credibility. But they could.

Yes, i am a coach at this level. I know this age group very well. The admin needs to solicit info from other coaches in each age group. It’s too hard to rank teams unless you see an age group year after year. Olney is the clear #1 team. It’s closer now than ever, but they are 1. Here is an accurate top 10.
Olney
Gambrills
Hcyp
MARS
Bcc
Elkridge
Diamond Skills
Severna Park
MMU
Williamsport
This accounts for the 90 foot change. As well as teams that lost players in the fall for Football and Soccer. Fall is not an accurate measure when teams are missing players to Fall sports. If there was some type of a measure that was outlined and info given from coaches the rankings would be way more accurate. Lake Shore, Hickory, KSI, API, White Marsh are all a huge level below these 10 teams. The top 6 can knock each other off on any given day.
