Team 4??? Good luck with that. The only thing you will be getting for sure is a bill from YJ. If she is on team 4 she is at the bottom of the top 80 in her age group just on that club not to mention all the other clubs in that age group and the 4th team I on YJ isn't very good. I wouldn't get your hope up. Also team 4 won't get very much exposure.
Even on YJ 4th team that girl would be top 100 in her age group on the island. There are no other competitive clubs beside TG's and a 4th team YJ would make their 2nd team. At least there is movement in YJ. My daughter started on the 4th team, moved to the 3rd team her second year and played on the second last year. As girls develop their skills increase. Most girls who were great early top out at an early age and drop down. That's the toughest part for parents; recognizing that the sun is setting on their daughter's once promising lax career. All dreams of certain scholarships fade to black and they're left hoping she makes varsity by 10th grade.
4th YJ team - really? They get blown out by the first and 2nd teams of at least :4 other clubs on LI - some kids on 4th YJ teams can barely throw and catch - but their checks clear. And no wonder why the checks keep coming with those sorts of promises from CR. Hang in there keep sending checks - your daughter will do great.
The top 2 TG, Elevate and Liberty teams - yes all 6 of those teams would beat any 4th YJ team and there are other clubs as well but those are a given.
Watched 3rd team YJ beat TG 2nd team and place higher than TG black at national draw so you never know. If you beleive the original post that started this topic you are not very bright.
Watched a 2nd team TG beat the second team YJ and go to finals at national draw. You can't apply age group success across an entire club.
