CageSage, I have a number of friends and relatives in Northport, some of whom are former YJ players on a blue team who left due to injuries. I was told firsthand by those parents that Carol Rose does indeed charge a hefty sum (I forget but definitely over $1000) to write letters to coaches on her player's behalf, which I assume would cover phone calls as well. It's also common knowledge within Northport sports that you will get no playing time as a Tiger if you are not a YJ/Carol supporter. Even the boys' parents know about Carol and the YJ.

So maybe Carol/YJ is saying one thing and doing another, maybe the policy has changed, or maybe my YJ friends/relatives are misguided. They seemed pretty certain though, it was presented as a known fact with the YJ organization that they accepted as part and parcel. This came up when I was discussing with them the possibility of my daughter trying out for YJ and they were giving me pros and cons.
