None of the fall leagues offer tremendous competition -- it's the nature of the beast. Kids are in showcase leagues, football, taking a break, etc. For younger kids, it provides a good opportunity to offer new challenges -- play against older kids, work on new things, etc. We used this past fall to play on a 90' field for the first time (as a 14 yr old), against older kids....an evaluation of sorts.
BBI, despite mediocre competition from top to bottom, does provide decent organization and there are usually 3-4 teams that are strong.
