I am curious why people in Maryland and NJ (maybe even Long Island) don't realize/believe/admit that these Fall YJ teams are not the real teams. They are first come/first serve sign ups, they don't practice, and don't have the usual coach. This is the case for all age groups. Why is this so hard to grasp?
Maybe because the people in MD and NJ (maybe even Long Island) aren't used to a money grabbing system. Maybe they're used to a club that likes to have all of their players play together as much as possible, since that is what they payed for.
