They do have geographical teams (YJ South for example) but assuming you mean the LI teams, they are A, B, C, D, etc. Practice locations seem to depend on the coach. Tryouts are so late so they can scoop up all the girls who didn't like where they were placed on other clubs, or to make all the girls who aren't sure wait until they are past the commitment dates for the other clubs, so they don't have another option. There are (virtually) no cuts at YJ - they will keep making teams until everyone has a spot. Beware once you get past A or B.
