I think Lonigro is the 3rd team. The rest are just extra money for CR. You guys should have considered wearing Purple this ywear.

Some of the low #'s are also girls who started out with the top team 2 years ago and have been moved down. 2020 Blue has 7 new girls. They added a second goalie is one. 4 Girls moved up from Jones team. 3 definitely deserve it. But a couple of others should have been there also. And no, my daughter is not one of them.

Yeah right...I guess your daughter is on hearny...she'll be fine, even if it's the 5th team. She'll get plenty of opportunity to improve her skills with YJ

What's the matter? I thought you were all happy to play for YJ organization even if it is 4th or 5th team? Why changing the tune all of a sudden? Could it be that 5 teams with 25-27 kids on a roster just = $$$? Now you've figured it out. So many other teams on LI don't need to keep flocking to YJ to support their top teams.

I know of at least 8 girls on 2 different age levels that were not at the YJ tryouts.

It's clear to me the kids are happy on these teams. At least YJ
has the volume to accommodate kids from many different ability
levels. Kids just want to play and YJ gives them many opportunities
year round through leagues, camps, clinics, fall and summer tourneys unlike
most other clubs.

They have a consistent staff and most varsity level coaches on every
team. The kids can't help but get better learning from them.

38 2015 kids committed 2016 kids going fast
They just won Mid Atlantic Championships and T3 this past weekend
I must say they have balanced keeping there top teams Elite as well
as developing those that aspire to get to that level.

There teams 4-5 are better than most second teams from other clubs!
Keep up the good work coaches!! YJ you know

teams 1 and 2 are incredibly strong. Then a noticeable drop off in skill. It really doesn't matter if your kid is enjoying herself and playing at the appropriate level.

Smithtown parents go figure

How do you figure? Different coach but, almost same team except for a few. Left behind by who?

Cook is the 3rd team

Congrats now there is a true blue new FAF in Smithtown.

Wrong. Cooks team is a developmental team for weaker kids. I wouldn't waste my money on that team or let my daughter play for them no matter how my daughter feels about it. If you’re on the last 2 teams at this level, there is no way you will move up to Carro or Bert unless your daughter improves dramaticly (and I mean super star) or you have connections. The coaching at that level wont' help your daughter develop into a better player. Between the registration/tourney fees/hotels/gas/food, you can get a lot more bang for your buck with private lessons. Stop giving your money to CR so you can say that your kid is a YJ.

So says the Smithtown parent....yes some do but others are just as talented and did not get the benefit of the FAF. Not a put down to the Smithtown contingent(many are well deserved) but stating the obvious that they got the benefit of the doubt. Good to be from Smithtown on 2019.

Pretty expensive wind breaker, but it looks good. LOL

You watch...Cook's Team will be the 3rd team by the end of the summer.

Good move by Carro to dump the FAF and bring up the Smithtown girls. We now have a true BLUE team!

College coaches only look at top 2 teams anyway, maybe the 3rd. Save your money for college instead.

New Yellow Jacket team:
Smithtown South

Actually, this is a refreshing development. For more than a year, BOTC has been littered with comments that the program has been a closed group - the so-called "family and friends" package. Now, you see new players coming into the program and moving up the rankings which should be taken as a positive by the lacrosse community at large.
