How are, "elite" players defined? What are the criteria? I think we both know this would be a subjective determination as opposed to objective. I know of no definitive criteria such as used in world class athletics. Elite is a world class athlete classification which has been highjacked by youth sports.
It is meaningless. A world class women's gymnastic athlete, for instance, compares her to any other female gymnaastic athlete regardless of age. Compared to MLB players, all youth baseball players suck. Thes best that can be said is that compared to other players of their age they are superior at the moment.
Calling them elite destines all but the actual future elite to a demotion. They can rapidly go from being elite to non-player in two years. They can certainly turn into non elite.

Doesn't seem right to me that you can now just be an "Elite" team just by signing up. What is there now to distinguish between being a very good Major team from one of the Elite? Like you said RJM, must just be for the parents to say their kid is an "elite" player.
I don't really like it. The "Elite" moniker should be saved for those special teams that have proven they are better than the rest. It saved them from changing logos. There are no geographical boundaries in AZ. If you want to play at the top level, you can. Some teams do that for awhile until they get pounded every week and they move down.

One of the best, if not the best, teams in my sons division is from a relatively small area. It is all about competition around here. If you are good, you play against the best. I live 20 minutes from Aberdeen and the quality and talent of the players far surpass Williamsport.
