Wow!! Does it really matter who has a "better" travel team??? Obviously, the answers to that question will be biased.  Whatever team your daughter is on will be the "best".  My daughter was in a showcase last summer out west and played against 18U gold teams from both California and Texas.  NO New York team compares to these teams.  Once one gets off Long Island the competition is amazing.  It was a great experience to watch such talented young women.   So this discussion of who the "best" travel team is, is really pointless.  Hopefully, everyone is happy with their team, if not there are plenty of others to check out.  Also, to get your daughter recruited, they do not have to play on any travel team.  You can enter them in individual showcases.  Anyway, good luck to all with their travel journies!!! 

 

Does it really matter..this is about LI Softball.. Why take away from the hard work that our girls put in? Is that pointless? let them enjoy their "moment in the sun."I was hoping for honest opinions..I know my daughters team is not in my top three

No one is "taking away" from Long Island girls, my daughter is one of them.  The point is, it's ridiculous to go on about the "best" teams, when it is subjective.  The other point I make is that people should be realistic and realize that when they do get off long island, there is great competition out there.  Also, no one cares which travel team beat the other one.  At college showcases, the scores don't matter.  Scouts are there to check out indivduals who have contacted them and have an interest in attending their school.  No college recruiter cares which long island travel team beat the other and by what score!!!!!!

You are right..so put your daughter on the worst team on Long Island and have at it.Youre right the team does not matter

You seem really angry and ignorant.  You probably need a life that does not revolve around your daughter's activities. 

 

You seem to have the only opinion that matters...Maybe we should meet so I can learn to be all knowing as you. To bad we cant have a discussion without involving personal attacks.

I think you started with the sarcasm.  I never said I know everything.  This is a message board, it is open to the public.  It is not all about you.  Also, I have zero interest in meeting you. obviously, you can't imagine that someone has an opinion different from yours.  Good luck to you and your daughter with your travel team.  Maybe when she plays out of state, you will realize my point about the great competition out there.

Enough of the back and forth. Anyone else have an opinion on their top three teams? Diamondmom thanks for your input on your top three teams

Like playing out os state is something new.  Any legit travel team is out of state ALL the time.  The better LI travel teams don not even play local tournys.  There out of state and the better ones stack up pretty well.

Diamondmom if you don't like the subject of the thread don't post. It's all in good fun. Everyone knows that the states with warmer weather have better teams, so lighten up. It's fun to compare teams, that all comes with a competitive spirit. I for one love to hear about who kicked who's butt on any given weekend.

Most, if not all, of the teams mentioned in this thread play most of their games out of state in competitve tournaments.  I think you're peeved because your favorite team wasn't mentioned because I'll bet $$ that if it was, we wouldn't hear a peep out of you. So lighten up....this thread was about LI Travel not Nationwide travel.....we all know the deal about teams to the west and south of us.  The girls on the teams mentioned more than deserve the credit with their hardwork and commitment they show to their teams and you should be proud of them as well, after all they are representing Long Island softball when they play out of state!

alwaysrdy -- I have nothing against long island softball.  I give all the girls credit.  The point I make is that it really doesn't matter which team "kicks the other teams butt".  If the purpose is trying to get your kid recruited for college, none of that matters.  That is my point.  There are many fine athletes on Long Island.  However, once you get out of your town, county and state, there are just as many talented individuals.  It's great that you are so enthused with the local competition, however, all I stated was that college recruiters don't really care about any of that.  When it comes time for college the game really becomes about the indivudal girl and her abilities, not which team she is a part of.  Good luck with your team this season!!!!

Diamondmom the only one talking about college is you. The thread is about the top three teams in EACH age group. The notion of recruiting was brought up by you. Why can't we have a thread that doesn't turn into a debate about college. Some people are playing because it's fun and competitive, period.

Come on guys lets move on from this, it's old news and just a retread of other threads that got worked  to death. Lets talk about the High School Playoffs before we move back tp Travel and College and........

In the top 3 18u you are not including Sudden Impact? Rebels? Spartans? Chargers? Looks like your missing the top four.
