There is one A team (Friedman) and two B teams. The Suffolk B team (Duswalt) has a 'win at all costs' mentality which is why he (Duswalt) "lost his mind". The Nassau B team (Howley) likely has better coaching and plays everyone somewhat more equally. Both B teams have too many players (24+), so the parents are hoping for a 4th team.


Actually Incorrect.....YJ has 2 Suffolk (Friedman & duswolt) and 1 Nassau (Howley ) they aren't A and B. Yes , Friedman is the stronger of the 3 and that's why it may be thought of as the A but it technically is not . YJ has chosen to split their teams up with Suffolk and Nassau . Which is unfortunate because they could have one dominant team but instead they have girls split up that are A team players into 2 teams instead . Also unfortunate for YJ is that whole the Friedman team seems to have more of the YJ backing in terms of practice space etc....they will eventually lose girls to other programs if they feel like there are better local options rather than go out east to practice. While their intention was good it has watered down the teams .
