Difficult question ... four-part answer:

1. From my perspective, YJ and TG were the only local clubs with multiple quality 2018 teams this Summer. For other clubs, there is a free fall in talent from "A" to "B".

2. When our daughter made 2018 White last year, we were concerned about skill level and "money team" issues. We are happy with the experience. The coaching was very good, and our daughter's lax skills visibly improved.

3. There is movement between teams. At least two girls from 2018 White made 2018 Black this year. Last year, five or six girls from Purple moved to Black.

4. I would seriously consider TG. If you try out for other clubs, evaluate the organization of the tryout and the skill-level of the kids. Compare / contrast to TG tryouts to help you decide.

Cheers.
