I can tell you that my kid was on the list that just came out Wednesday and we never submitted anything, nor did we pay for anything. We found out DD was on it from a friend who does have a subscription, I was genuinely surprised to see she was listed. I spend way too much money on everything else for softball, hell if I’m going to pay to get her “ranked” and I’m definitely not paying to see the rankings! But somehow she was on the list. I have no idea how, if it was her coach or through some other way, but to suggest parents are buying their kids way onto “the list” is not true…at least not for us.
