2014 12u pre-season polls

[default]

Top 3 from last year Thunder 02 Storm 02 and Lasers white 02 will give a lot of 01 teams a run for their money. I cant see them falling out of the top 10 IMO

OK boys.
It's almost time to resurrect this post. It's my opinion that the pre-season opinions will start the week after Spano Dome since that is going to be the first true indicator of how these teams have emerged from winter training to get prepared for the season.
Then we get to say good bye to the players as they don their school uniforms for a while until we get them back again in late April/early May, depending upon each school's desire to play in post-season play.

One thing to keep in mind...you should let the performance of this year's team be your guide, not what they did last year, or last fall in friendlies. In friendlies coaches are doing a lot of investigation & trial work. You could emerge from a friendly beating a team that in a normal tournament might not be the case. I can say that very thing happened to my team, but I certainly have no expectations of a repeat performance of that game, because that was a friendly & I'm 100% certain we didn't see that team's A lineup or pitcher.
So...bottom line...let's start the thinking process & get this post going again. We would probably need a new post started & someone to volunteer to manage the polls. I volunteer to NOT run it. I have no chance of doing the poll any justice with my trying to manage an indoor facility in addition to running my team, being a father and husband. Oh, and an employee 3 1/2 hours per week.
We need a volunteer & the conditions for voting laid out in advance. Who's it gonna be?
Oiler-Pride did a bang-up job last year. What say you, Jeff?

Yes, I planned on doing it again for both 10U and 12U. Keep an eye out for Threads in the coming weeks laying the ground rules!!

Storm 01, Lasers Green, Stingrays 01, Grandslam I would guess any one of these teams will be in the running.
