Exactly... BS taking the JY model. At least all the chatter now can stop about YJ being the only money grab around
In defense of BS and CR, if they have 90-100 girls trying out for their programs at each age level, and they could provide coaches for each team, why wouldn't they add additional teams to service a demand for their product. What should be done with the 50 or so girls who don't make the the a or b team in their age division? If those kids and their parents want them involved with travel lacrosse why not? If their parents don't want to pay that fee they can try out for another less expensive club. But if the demand is there then they should offer the service, and grow the game.
P.S. Black,Purple, White, Blue, Yellow, Green its all a money grab whether your on the top team or the third team (or 5th team in YJ case).
But as a parent it is YOUR responsibility to put your child in a place where they will learn and grow. Everyone knows the 3rd, 4th and 5th teams will not get ANYWHERE near the treatment the 1st and 2nd teams will get. If your kid is settiling for a 3rd team and can go somewhere else and play with better kids on a 2nd team, why settle? Also, those lower teams will be treated as if they are non-existent. AND if I were BS or SS wouldnt you want to at least keep some shred of credibility and instead of just putting any kid on the field, field teams with kids that represent YOUR brand? It represents their brand, but maybe they care more about a few grand and less about the brand.
