Youth Team
Due to high interest during 2011, the Hampshire Thrashers set up a youth team for ages 13–16. They spent the 2011 season training hard and also played scrimmages with the Sussex Thunder and Watford Cheetahs.
They play a scaled down version of the full game with just 5 players on the field instead of the usual 11 as found in the higher age groups.
The team will enter league play for the 2012 season.

Famous quotes containing the words youth and/or team:
“When he became all eye when one was present, and all memory when one was gone; when the youth becomes the watcher of windows, and studious of a glove, a veil, a ribbon, or the wheels of a carriage, when no place is too solitary, and none too silent.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“I doubt if men ever made a trade of heroism. In the days of Achilles, even, they delighted in big barns, and perchance in pressed hay, and he who possessed the most valuable team was the best fellow.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
