Since you guys always come through… Does anyone have the Sailors cup schedule for next week?

Alright! It’s time to be dead wrong in public!
10u Girls
- 908
- Patriot
- Newport
908 has some FAST girls. Newport is always good. Patriot has the top 3 girls in 10u but it’ll depend on if they play 10u girls or with their Navy team in 12u.
10u coed
- OCWPC
- Los Al
- Patriot Red
Los Al and OC are a toss up imo. They both have talent. I think OC’s huge center will be the difference maker. For third it’ll be between Newport B and Patriot B who had a 2 goal game in K7 last month.
10u Boys
- 908
- CDM
- San Clemente
908 has some big lefties that are very talented. They’ll out-physical CDM. CDM and San Clemente are works in progress.
12u Girls
- Newport
- San Clemente
- Commerce
A good division but they’re missing Del Mar. Without Del Mar, Newport should win!
12u Boys
- SD Dons
- Mission
- CDM
The Patriot Invite showed Mission is above, but Cyrus has been cooking up something with the Dons and they’re finally playing 12u. I think this is the preview of the JO final.
Another interesting side note is that the top 4 10u teams of this season are playing in the 12u boys gold division. They’ll likely face eachother somehow so it’s an interesting snippet.
14u Girls
- Newport
- 908
- San Clemente
Newport by a mile. Hope Doyle, Makenna Mack and Cece Mesenbrink are built different. 908 has a couple top end girls but Newport’s size will beat them. San Clemente in third based on their ODP numbers.
14u Boys
- La Jolla
- CC United
- Mission
La Jolla only has one big loss on the year. This is the tournament where they establish their favorite status into JOs.

Just curious, 14U (girls) is when we can name players without being censored?
If there is a rule on it, I’m unaware of it. Broadly, I don’t name players until they are incoming freshmen. There are exceptions for when USA Water Polo publishes the names, such as ODP or JOs, or when a player’s parent indicates they don’t have an issue with it.
Parents vary greatly in where they draw the line between protection of their kid’s identity, and wanting recognition for their son’s or daughter’s achievements. I do my best to be respectful of that and tend toward being maybe even a bit overly protective in the public part of the forum.

For 12U boys I think Newport will be in the top 3 not CDM, but am probably splitting hairs. I just think Newport making the final four at SD Cup puts them closer to the top teams than CDM, though CDM is scrappy for sure. Perhaps tomorrow will let us know how much #2 being on IR hurts Mission short term. Stay tuned.
