Guys I saw this recently posted as a blog, but I would love to toss this out for the OFC peanut gallery's comments.
Let me start this process as the coach of a not-so-bad true 11U team. I will list off a bunch of top-ranked 11U teams who could be a major force next year.
In no particular order:

Ohio Glory '01. Yup-don't overlook us. Lots of depth, experience, solid pitching, fundamentals and experienced coaches.
Lasers Green. Lee's angels have already proven themselves as a contender this year. They will be near the top of everybody's list.
Stingrays '01-Tony's team is solid from top to bottom. Plays late on Sunday already...next year will not only be playing late, but getting lots of pictures on the diamond receiving hardware at 7PM on Sunday.
Grand Slam '01. Major contender as 10U team last year. Making noise all year long and is a team to be feared next year.
Xtreme '01. Boys this team is all around solid. Hits well, solid pitching...good fundamentals. Don't think you have an easy road if they are in your path.
Ohio Ice-Bristow. I haven't seen Terry's team yet this year: However being on the receiving end of a throttling last year I can assume they are delivering that same result to many teams this year. His kids were big, fast, and hard hitting. Has a blazer for a lead pitcher last year. Again...don't know if his roster has changed much.
Buckeye Heat '01. Nick has done a tremendous job with those girls. They hit very well and play solid defense. Giving lots of '00 teams more than they want to see right now. Certainly a force.
There are probably a few I haven't mentioned because I personally haven't bumped into them. However, with the history of their organizations you know they will field a top rated team. Static, Hawks, Ice, Classics, others?
Let's have some fun with this, boys!

Ohio Glory '01

Some great teams there for sure! I agree with this list. Lets throw the 01 Emeralds in this mix! What an amazing little group. We have watched them handle some 00 teams with ease.

Don't forget Storm'01 ! They were ranked in the top 10 in 12u earlier this year . They play solid defense , great pitching , and a couple big hitters . If anyone thinks I'm chestbumping , I'm not as I coach Storm'00 .

Storm '01, Hawks-Robinson, and Marion Diamonds Orange are some other true 11s that will be tough next year.
Don't sleep on some of these 10s like Lasers White and Storm '02 either.

I'm such a dork. I can't believe I missed out on Ryan Pentz's team./ I had them in mind, but somehow forgot to add them when typing my original list.
Also, Marion Diamonds has two good '01 teams; orange & black.
Wizards Blackswamp...absolutely a solid '01 team!
Storm '02-Marc is going to give some '01 teams some major fits next year. That is one kick a** 10U team this year. I concur with Honeybadgerdon'tcare......there are some amazing 10U teams who will wreeck some havoc in the 12U division next year.
Steamrollers.......middle of this season or the start of the next. ROTFLMAO...are you bringing out my other post? ;&
LOL

Lets not forget about Eddies Wolfpack. He only has a couple '00 girls this year and a ton of '01 talent. They will be a team to watch as well next year. Thanks Billy07 and Sprunger for recognizing the Emeralds '01. These young ladies have worked their tails off and it has definitely shown on the field. I agree that every team mentioned on this thread to this point will definitely make some noise around the polls and on the field next year.

Bugtussell Wild Thangs should be on everyone's radar for 2014. Coach Ben Dover is gonna shock some folks!

Based on this year and what I seen last year.

Laser Green
Grand slam (was at Compuware with them so I got to see them play a lot)
Emeralds 01
Wolfpack
Storm 01
Stingrays 01
Hawks (Robinson I think, I like that team a lot)
Marion Diamonds orange

No perticular order, I'm sure there will be some 11u teams that will be on my list by the end of the year.

The 01 Liberty Blazers will also be a team to look out for next season. Some of the hardest working young ladies and coaches I have seen. Good luck in the 2014 season.
