Whoever says or even thinks that varsity in the talent rich long island and I can speak for Suffolk is not a good measure and watered down is delusional and caught up in the money grab of travel.Our schedule has 2 of the top 10 teams in the Country and high Quality section xi teams all throughout.Don’t know if any summer tournaments or even nationals that have that much talent pooled together.If your kid hasn’t played varsity(not made the team and watched)then you simply don’t know what your talking about.
Talent rich Long Island? HS Rankings? Long Island will send fewer than 30 players to Top 20 caliber teams each year and probably fewer than 15 kids to Top 10 caliber teams each year and those players are spread out across many HS teams. When the top two of three club teams at any age group from Long Island compete against the top club teams from other areas, that is where the best competition is. YJ does not fill their top team with all girls from the same HS.
