Certainly can't argue with the success.


This, to me, is just an uneducated statement. Out of all the teams YJ entered in this tournament, only 3 had losing records. The organization recorded 5 of the 7 championships awarded. This includes one of the "reasonable" second teams that you state above. These teams are well coached and the girls want to play. I agree that 4 or 5 teams in each age group is a bit much, but it is what it is. If girls want to play and parents want to pay, someone will step forward to serve this market. Right now YJ have, maybe someone else will soon.

Formula for winning tourney's CR edict, "playing time is not guaranteed " rivals, playoffs and championship games top half of her rosters go most of the game. Coaches wil hear it from CR if they lose and don't follow direct orders!
