So I've mentioned elsewhere that I'm the new commish for our rec league. As a long time coach here, I've seen the good and the not so good (we don't really have bad).
Last season we had 12 12U teams, and one of the things our 12U coaches universally complained about was talent disparity - between teams and within teams. A few of us thought that there should be A and B subdivisions, and I like that idea. I know it's rec, but at 12U we start to see some talents blossom, and we do emphasize that this is when the girls should start to make a deeper commitment to the sport. We'd have our TB coaches evaluate, and split the girls in the middle, adjusted for siblings.
So, thoughts about A and B subdivisions?
I also want to institute a blind draft for the A division. I know that there will be some wiggling to get DD's placed and adjust draft picks, but that's true of any draft situation. Can anyone point me at software or a website for drafts?
