How’s the 2025-2026 season going?

Based on the elite 8 that made it VA for the 2010 I would argue So cal is still a very strong location. 2 out of 8 teams made it to VA, thats 25% of the teams being from one location and two teams were from Nor Cal... So 50% of the elite 8 teams were from CA. I would say thats still pretty dominate. I think its great there is competion all over the country, as it should be. Its okay to not win a national cahmpionship, life will continue on regardless. I do agree that some kids are pushed way too early and focus so much on private trainers early on and get burned. Its very sad. Even in So cal we have late bloomers and things will change for teenage girls.

In so cal the talent is spread out amongst more teams were lets say the Hawks has the one strong team in the state. Its great, love the competition.
 
another problem is having some kids on a team dedicated like that and the rest not.
Experiencing this now. Girls are in high school and other activities are now of interest, boys, etc. Girls putting high school sports above/over the club sport, all the good stuff.
Some girls seem to be out there because the parents want them there as they show no interest and just line pocket books.
