The Yellow Jackets still have much better coaching as a whole than any other club on Long Island and would stack their coaches up against any on a national level. As far as Elite players , there is no comparison with any other club on Long Island. TG still 2nd best but the gap has gotten worse. There is not one age group that a reasonable argument can be made that TG top team beats YJ top team. Its comical how the Select makes you so angry.Smart move by TG taking their coaches bios down from the web site, those things were an embarrassment.


You are comparing a program that has been around for 5 years to a program that has been around for a lot longer. TG can not compare to YJ but they haven't done badly for the short time they have been around. Their coaching can not compare to YJ but again, they are new. Good coaching has to start somewhere. Not everyone is born with coaching experience. The "select"term is funny if you have 5 teams for every age group. How select are you really being?


This is really simple, seems like folks look for any reason to take a shot at the champ. The top team and sometimes even the second team in each age group are as select as you can find in the country. The fact that over the years more and more kids keep coming has led to 4 and 5 teams but certainly did not start that way.
