We continue our pre-summer look at the top club teams across the nation for the 14U age division by spotlighting those ranked #’s 20-11.
Each day this week we’re revealing 10 teams on as we work towards Friday’s big post when we’ll unveil the Top 10 (and #1 overall ranked team) and on Saturday list the Next Teams In (#’s 51-80) and on Sunday the Teams to Watch (#’s 81-100).
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 and players 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.
