We wrap up our pre-summer look at the top 2018 club teams across the nation for the 14U age division by spotlighting the teams ranked 10-1.
Each day this week we highlighted 10 teams we think have the best chance to make a run at a National Championship this year. Tomorrow (Saturday) we’ll list the Next Teams In (#’s 51-100) and fully expect some of these will make the final Elite 50 list when we update down the road!
Here are the teams previously profiled:
Team #’s 50-41
Team #’s 40-31
Team #’s 30-21
Team #’s 20-11
Teams were selected based on performances and results in events over the last year, including this winter and fall (understanding that showcase events are more for recruiting exposure and don’t necessarily reflect a team’s abilities), as well as how they project for the summer with the talent returning, and the addition of impactful new ones, for the upcoming run at Nationals.
Input was acquired by the Extra Inning Softball staff watching teams in person as well as insights provided by club and college coaches across the country.
These lists include a mixture of second and first year 14U teams (indicated with an *) with the intention of projecting how the teams will perform over time, especially in key summer events.
