You people are hilarious . Igloo will not survive . Every once in a while you get one of those teams that pop up and are decent then a few defect to YJ because they realize the recruiting opportunities are better or they get tired of the daddy coach running everything they his kid and the team falls apart .Same thing happens to TG as their better players defect to YJ for the connections , same as the 2019, 2020 group and they are left with little .
Haha, that is funny, especially in lieu of the opposite occurring. If you haven't noticed, the good players are not flocking to YJ over the past two years, rather away. What makes you think anyone will want to go to that team with the mess it is? As for Igloo, yes, the father coaches daughter is a great player, who deserves to be on the field, complete opposite of the YJ parents kids. He also uses the rest of the team effectively and has developed a great comradery there. The girls are happy. As for recruiting, since both of those teams have surpassed YJ, recruiting will not be a problem, as coaches look for the best girls.
The same thing is happening in NJ with Steps. They used to have very strong teams because the best NJ girls would automatically go there. Now some very good players are playing with other clubs instead and turning down invites for their A teams. The 2019 and older teams were legitimately very good. The 2020s and below, not so much. The 2021s lost to another NJ team a month ago. This would have been unthinkable a few years ago, just like YJ would never have lost to another LI team (but recently did).
Not only are some of the best players not bothering to try out, but they're also picking too many girls based on politics. The coaching is often horrible. The director is sending out desperate emails suggesting that he's the only reason players commit to top schools. He doesn't seem to realize that 99% of the credit belongs to the players, not the club. With the recruiting rule change, the club directors are almost irrelevant now. College coaches have all the time in the world to watch the girls play. The best will stand out with or without a club director's input.
YJ and Steps are almost the same: the owners were first movers and enjoyed a great advantage for a long time. But they both seem to be living on past accomplishments. They don't seem to realize that there are other choices now. Other clubs have nearly caught up and are providing more value with less nonsense.
I'm enjoying watching it happen.
