Today, our staff gathered and collaborated to produce an All-Tournament Team at both the 13U and 14U levels. We’ll start with the Class of 2025 prospects who starred all weekend. This list was assembled from an evaluation and performance-based perspective, taking into account the player’s future in conjunction with their statistics recorded over their four games last weekend.
