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.

“Whenever a youth is ascertained to possess talents meriting an education which his parents cannot afford, he should be carried forward at the public expense.”
—James Madison (1751–1836)
“I also heard the whooping of the ice in the pond, my great bed-fellow in that part of Concord, as if it were restless in its bed and would fain turn over, were troubled with flatulency and bad dreams; or I was waked by the cracking of the ground by the frost, as if some one had driven a team against my door, and in the morning would find a crack in the earth a quarter of a mile long and a third of an inch wide.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
