i know girls who play on gold teams for yj and have blast. they practice just as much as the blue team does along with the other teams. all of the teams are coached my high school coache or better and have college players as assistants. recruiting wise, the gold team players can go to just as good colleges as the blue teams, they get just as much looks. just look on the yj homepage for proof
Go to the website. Look through all classes. You will see inequlaity. The lower teams get less opportunities but pay the same money. You can argue all you want but its on the website. How can the girls on lower teams get better when they are given less playing time? Two tournaments can equal up to 10 less games. That is a lot of time.
There is no "inequality"!. Did it ever occur to you that the kids on the green and black teams may not be as gifted and talented? No one is ignoring them!Many of them go on to play D2 or 3 and have a great time doing it.Not everyone is going to be able to play big time D1 no matter how much they play or how great the coaching is! As far as those kids getting ripped off, the yellow jackets pay structure is a sign up fee, then you pay per tournament. If you have less tournaments,you pay less money!
what about red? are they gifted and talented? can you tell who is gifted and talented in 2hrs? really?
The 2 hr tryout out is for placement. Do kids fall through the cracks? absolutely. My daughter was one of them! If the kid belongs on a different team they will eventually get there. My daughter did and so have many others. Look at the rosters from year to year, they change a lot. In fact many girls move during the season if it is warranted and there is a need. As far as the Red team, from what I heard they asked to stay together because they were all from the east end! If you are happy with your club there is no need to bash another. That includes YJ parents. Enjoy the summer and the competition!
