I saw approximately 165 girls at the 2020 tryout. If the YJ can get good coaches and good players for 6 teams, why not expand? On the other hand, it may be diluting the brand name.

Say what you will about the YJ and Coach Rose, but, in my opinion, having that many LI female lax players trying out for the program shows that they/she are doing something right.
Key data points from your post :
  • approximately 165 girls
  • If the YJ can get good coaches
  • (If the YJ can get) good players for 6 teams
  • they/she are doing something right
Now, having just gone through the tryout season with more than 40 club and town teams here on BOTC, the number one issue that was raised across the board was that parents want to know their coaches prior to purchasing a program. Yet in this discussion, the conversation turns to "if we can get good coaches"? Is something really being done right in this situation?

When the summer season comes about and that fifth and sixth level team's parents are complaining about the attention and training afforded to their daughters while they are sporting their new Yellow Jackets gear, BOTC is going to turn a deaf ear to the discussion.
