I honestly do not get it, if your experience has been that bad then leave. My experience with YJ has been very positive for the most part, good coaches , good players, descent and fun loving parents for the most part.Yes gets expensive but you have to descide sometimes where you want to spend your money , top of the line new car or mid level car and kid plays YJ, is what it is. My opinion YJ gives you the most constant product with the most options, best coaching,and best connections. All clubs have the crazies and issues. As far as kids being placed on teams without trying out I have seen that on every club on Long Island so don't act as if YJ is the only one.
