Do any of the NT dads go home and beat their nanny after a tie or loss?
They should be patient as a NT dad posted they're getting 4 AA players and will be the best team next year.
AA players play in AA. I love how people automatically assume a team will win it all before any of these kids go through growth spurts over the summer.
No one can assume anything with certainty, but every team at/near the top of the standings this season picked up AA players in the off-season. For U14, many AA players will come down because their families don't want hitting, not because they're being cut.
That is actually an extremely small percentage - most families who said this prior to this year are quite happy with their return offers. Those that didn’t get return offers - a higher percentage is just choosing to come down to A, but that is also a function of some pretty weak AA teams.
