My additional two cents:
Rec ball allstar teams should represent the best players based on the skills, talent, motivation the player has exhibited over the previous SPRING season. including the GOLD team... to say that 12 girls will be "tagged" as GOLD at the beginning of the season and all other girls can at best strive for Silver is BS... anyone that tells me those 12 girls will NOT be the GOLD players the next year and any silver player has a chance is dreaming ... too much daddy ball for that to happen...
The idea, as presented, is to allow for players to be moved onto and off from the team as the season progresses, and you don't have to lock-in your team until the normal all-star season. Good luck explaining to little Suzy why she is no longer on the "select" team at the end of the season. Think there's hard feelings and hostility now with the current system, wait until this gets implemented.
