Rumor is true.... Spartans are now Firecrackers. Honestly for Steve and Tish it is probably a good thing they got into a bigger org which they have wanted for some time. For the parents time will tell. I hear fees have double from what they were last season?? As a parent I would ask why?? You will be lied to and told some type of Org response like we are playing in So Cal more blah blah blah... Bottom line the tourneys are almost the same cost until you get older. The extra is to put the name on the chest, if you think otherwise your funny. Don't get me wrong I think name has a lot to do with things down the road so I am not saying its a bad thing I am just say know it now and understand it.
This next part has nothing to do with Steve or the 12u team because I like the guy and have said it before I think he is a good coach.
This would be an all age question, Silvan, Stone, Coronado, Price, Vasquez and what ever others will follow tomorrow.
All of these people who get excited about the Firecrackers crack me up. Answer two questions!!! Would you have stayed with the team you are on had the name not changed to Firecrackers?? Would you have gone to that coaches tryouts had their name not changed to firecrackers.
If your answer is Yes to both then it is a great move for you.
If your answer is No to both your an idiot for staying on the team or going to the team. The Org name will not change the coaching style of the coach or the way he or she runs the team.
