What’s in a Name?

All of the Patriot Teams share a common naming convention.  (e.g., Maryland Patriots 14U Red – Smith).  So, what is the significance of the color?  When Patriot Teams are assigned, we determine if they are a first- or second-year team.  For instance, a first year 14U Team would be made up primarily of 13-year-old eligible players.  A second year 14U team would be made up primarily of 14-year-olds.  Teams are allowed to sign any eligible age player, however the year they will graduate to the next age group is predetermined.  For the 2023/24 Season, Patriot “Red” Teams will be graduating at the conclusion of the season.  Patriot “Blue” teams are scheduled to graduate at the conclusion of the 2024/25 Season.
