As a matter of disclosure my kid is on 2nd team YJ and its where she belongs. Have watched YJ Curcio for a several games from a distance.(not a stalker just little to do between games and a friends kid is on the team) The problems are numerous . To start there are too many players. Then there are players on the Jones team who are clearly better than the lower half Curcio players. I hear if you are paying Curcio for privates you most likely do not belong on that team. The team is essentially equal playing time divided between two full team lines, each full team substitution has some of the better players on it. So essentially they never have all their best players on the field at the same time and instead run out two distinct mediocre teams. The middies on both lines are very good but the constant turnovers by the bottom of the team players and they run out of steam. One goalie seems to be at a much higher level than the other. Curcio favors one player over all others and unfortunately that player has not shown to be a game changer or produce in the big games,even to the point the team seems to play better when she is not in or not there( not sure why the kid is an excellent player , just an observation). The coaching seems to be more about yelling than instructing , the older female coach at least seems to be encouraging . All that said those closer to the situation probably have a different take but are too afraid to speak up.
