I have nothing against the YJ, but what gets me is when everyone points out how many college commitments the girls have as compared to other programs. Of course they do when they have so many players. Other clubs have just one or two teams.
Wouldn't most of the registration fees for the tournaments come from the club tuition? Parents pay for each tournament separately.
You can't down play the success rate the YJ when it comes to getting kids in colleges. It is not because of the amount of kids playing. It is because the kids can actually play and Carol Rose and the YJ brand is well respected. Look at the kids at colleges right now,Some of the best kids from NorthWestern (National Champs) are from the YJ's. Coaches know if a kid plays on one of the top YJ teams they have been tournament tested! That means they have played with and against the best competition in the country. Choosing a student athlete especially one who is scholorshiped is critical to a program. Knowing that a player has played at a certain level reduces the risk of investing in that player, that and the work ethic and talent each player brings is why there are so many YJ's getting big time Div 1 offers!
