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:
“And, oh God, in my misspent youth as a housewife, I, too, used to bake bread, in those hectic and desolating days just prior to the woman’s movement, when middle-class women were supposed to be wonderful wives and mothers, gracious hostesses.... I used to feel so womanly when I was baking my filthy bread.”
—Angela Carter (1940–1992)
“Imagination is a valuable asset in business and she has a sister, Understanding, who also serves. Together they make a splendid team and business problems dissolve and the impossible is accomplished by their ministrations.... Imagination concerning the world’s wants and the individual’s needs should be the Alpha and Omega of self-education.”
—Alice Foote MacDougall (1867–1945)
