Elite 50 14U Club Rankings: Teams Next In (#’s 51-100)

Today wraps up the week of our spotlighting the top 14U club teams across the nation who we believe will be the candidates make a serious run at a National Championship this year.

Here are the teams previously profiled:

Team #’s 50-41
Team #’s 40-31
Team #’s 30-21
Team #’s 20-11
Team #’s 10-1

Below we list the Next Teams In (#’s 51-100) as well as 15 To Watch and we fully expect some of these will make the final Elite 50 list when we update next.

Note that these Next Teams In and 15 To Watch may already—or could prove in time–to be Top 50 worthy; in some cases, we simply didn’t have enough information from the clubs themselves or from those who scout their states or regions to rank them higher.

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). Note: we DO NOT put a lot of value or weight in who beat whom in off-season competition as this often proves to be an apples-to-oranges comparison!

Most importantly, we look at how teams 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.
