Does scrimmaging Masters teams give adequate preparation for a youth club tournament? I'd imagine most masters teams play far different than the YCC teams they're likely to come across.

Now, I'd like to see how the US Juniors would match up against some of the mid-elite club teams ...

Have you ever seen O.L.D. S.A.G. play? I'm not sure what the YCC teams will do this summer, but S.A.G. run a lot of horizontal stack, huck plays from the vertical stack, and zone to man & other transition D. and I think that they beat the mid-elite club teams last year at Sectionals.

Frankly I think that the novelty factor of having the old dudes play the young kids would be worth the price of admission.

I say that if it's windy the masters win easily with zone. If it's a still day the kids will run and huck their way to a victory.

By the way, SEPDA is a great name. Although last time I was on the R2 it broke down in Folcroft.

The Colorado boys YCC team is scrimmaging the Denver Youth League All-Stars this Tuesday at Schaefer Athletic Complex (Hampden & Kipling) at 5 (?)... should be a good show.

Well, OLD SAG demolished the "PHUEL All-Stars" in the first matchup, but SEPDA is a better one, and we've actually had time to work together, work on playing together, etc.
This game is also a fundraiser for us -- spectators/hecklers are encouraged to put money down on the game, in some convoluted system Rob Olson came up with. Suffice to say, go SEPDA!

PS: Captains for SEPDA were named this weekend:
O-line: Noah Saul
D-line: Eddie Peters
