FAB 50 16U Rankings…On the Clock!
FAB 50 16U Rankings…On the Clock!
After publishing in October the FloSoftball list of the projected top FAB 50 teams at the 18U level, we move to the 16U age division to examine who will be the teams to beat.
Starting Monday, November 21, FloSoftball will unveil 10 selections each day of the top club teams at the 16U level who we feel have the best chance to make a National Championship run next summer.
How do we determine who the favorites will be in 2017?
[polldaddy poll="9579797"]
Simple: we combine a bunch of factors ranging from summer performance and results--especially at nationals and top prestigious tournaments--to who has the most elite players returning or have been added for next year.
So who are the odds-on favorites for next summer?
As we continue our thorough research into who are the best 16U teams in the nation, we invite you to provide feedback too. If you have suggestions and input on your favorite team, please send along to brentt.eads@flosports.tv.
And be sure to send a team photo as well as any individual or action shots you'd like to be considered as well as team accomplishments and reasons why you think your favorite squad should be ranked as one of the best in the nation!
Deadline to submit information is Thursday, Nov. 17 at 8 pm EST / 5 pm PST.

So who are the odds-on favorites for next summer?
- Will the top teams be familiar names like the Beverly Bandits, which won the PGF 16U Nationals in July? Or will a sleeper team, like the South Dakota Renegades which made it to the title game and almost beat the Bandits at PGF, make it high on our list?
- Will it be a team that won a National Championship this summer, like the Atlanta Vipers at the USA Softball JO Cup or the Louisville Stunners, who took the TC/USA Nationals crown, who ends up in the Top 10?
- Or will it be another familiar name, perhaps from talent-rich California, like the So Cal A's-Mercado/Smith team which won the Colorado Fireworks/Sparkler tourney or the East Cobb Bullets, which took the Boulder IDT event?
