Really not a lot of quality coaching going on in this program in the early ages (4th -7th grades) at all. The YJ is more of a collection. A collection of talent that they poach from other programs. When the team struggles they go and find more talent to make the team better. Easier than developing their own talent. Other programs out there provide more coaching and do it on a more consistent basis. But the YJ has created a machine in which people feel they need to be there to be recruited.
If your child is anything but a top player you will find nothing but frustration with this program.
Please name some othe LI based programs that have better coaching and development to younger players?
if you do not have a dedicated parent who can arrange extra practices and training your team is in trouble. Most other clubs provide twice the organized team practice through the club as part of their program. (20 compared to 10). There are other clubs that provide team based fall and winter training as well. Do your research. Some YJ teams train year round but that is only because they are lucky enough to have a parent(s) who organize and do it. Some teams get plenty of time together while other only see each other at ten practices and the tourns. Look at 2021 Skak, if it wasn't for the parents on that team they would only practice 4 times a year. The ones who seek and train the most on the outside are the ones who end up on the top teams (or they come from other programs).
Idiotic remark…you must be the Daddy coach.
Tell me, who is running the extra practice and training, you?
Do the parents have to pay extra for this so called extra training?
What a joke.
You expect parents to embrace the fact that the guy who probably never played the game is going to coach their daughters.
Let me guess, you coached you girl in PAL?
Well, that certainly qualifies you to coach at this level.
You’re an idiot, go watch some more YouTube vids on shuttles and other practice drills.
Daddy coach means you just want to make sure your kid makes the team and gets playing time even though she doesn’t deserve it.
