Going into Spring, please list your top 3 teams in Alabama for 8U, 10U, or 12U only. We'll get to 14U and 16U later.

Here is my list FOR 10u, based on what I saw in Fall.

10U '99 Teams
1. Thunderbolts 99
2. Octane 99
3. Vipers '99

10U '00 Teams
1. Mustangs - Franklin
2. Vipers 2000
3. NA Explosion '00

Hard to say in 12U. A lot of teams in the fall were playing with a couple of 96's at key positions. Always have to look at the 97 Rockets / 97 Explosion (hear that team had some turnover in winter but should be as good or better know) have not seen many of Birmingham 12U teams. See that a few new 98's are going to play 12U "A" ball so I would think they would be up there with the 97's. 98 Rockets won't be bad but are young.

in 10's...Bolts are THE team to beat. They were in the fall, and until someone can beat them more than once, they will remain.

Tough to call the 2-...**

Rockets 99 are as solid as anyone.

Vipers - Ditto

Riptide - Ditto

Octane - returned 7 of the 9 we had this fall..so we hope we will be as competitive ( we will see ..LoL ) ...o0 ( ps...we are looking for 2 players...hint hint hint )

When you look out od state...

Worth Cobras

Chatt. Cyclones

Dacula ( was very solid at the small game )


**there will be teams from AL show up on the map....new teams forming...etc...not sure where all the players where come from , to fill all these new teams..but..Im sure they will find them..LoL !!

The Bolts99 are looking forward to a shot at some Texas and California teams, but have a long way to go before we are ready. I would like to see the Riptide99 and Shapshot99 play some of the strong Georgia teams(I think you will do well). Octane99 will remain strong( I know you have looked for heavy competition and done well). Look for the top Alabama 99 teams' pitching and hitting to improve greatly this coming season. I bet we see more than a few balls land on the happy-side of the fence and not just at Millbrook. In all my years involved with softball(my oldest plays in college), I have never looked forward to a season more than the one we are about to play.

I agree. We are very excited about this upcoming season. And we are excited about the Turf War and King of the Mountain tournaments because we get to face some tougher competition right out of the gate. We will be looking for tournaments in MS. and TN. to broaden our horizons.
The Bolts are a great team and if there are some better teams out there, I wanna see it. Ya'll will represent Alabama very well.

My thoughts on the best teams in the 8U division:

Easton Elite Heat (GA)
Tennessee Elite (TN)
Killin Time (AL)
Thunderbolts (AL)
AL. Explosion (AL)
Walton Co. Thunder (GA)

*It will be a very competitive Spring 2010. Any one of these fine teams can find themselves on top at PC.

Anyone have thoughts on 12U?

[adad]

Vipers-Horton
Thunderbolts97

Both should be strong

[octanefastpitch]

I would think the normal suspects...

Rockets 97 & 98

Vipers - All 3

Explosion 97

Im sure there are more...just having a brain fart at the moment !!
