is igloo still holding their tryouts? or is the team just going to YJ as a whole team with no changes. looking for real information please. will we get our money back if we registered for tryouts?

The agreement is Igloo will come as a team this year depending on how many girls are returning. Depending on the number CR will back fill the roster at tryouts with the amount of girls needed for the team. Next year all the girls are in the tryout pool and will be placed by ability and f&f

Rumor is his 2021 went to Liberty

Tg has one good team and they are too happy to thro their teammates under the bus, as you can see nobody wants to be on the sideline with that group of insane parents, if you think it bad now wait another year or two when colleges are watching the games

Looking forward to the merge of Igloo/YJ in a year and all the crying and belly aching when girls that have been on the YJ team for years get dropped to W's team and TC is coaching as T stands by and watches. Don't bury your head in the sand and pretend its not going to happen the writing is on the wall. And that will be happening 2 years before recruiting begins it will be great timing for all those loyal parents.

So basically after this year, all the Igloo girls get screwed except for coach and his daughter! Like watching a train wreck, glad we’re out!

Correct TC did a great job of taking care of his daughter and himself. Don't expect more than one or two Igloo girls on Thorn's team when they merge. Thorns team is talented and there are too many friends and family to take of.

that's what happens when you can't produce or coach..its not really a slap in the face. it was a long time coming.

What exactly becomes of Wrights team with all of this nonsense, will they even be at the big tournaments?? Seems like current YJ teams are really screwed by this merger. The only ones who make out are Igloo, who becomes YJA

TC Disciple, here. Why are YJ parents freaking out, if they are only a one player team? Why do you lose to one player? Maybe your the one is who is afraid. TC did everything he could, your forgetting one fact - he does not own Igloo. Never fear competition that's what you should be teaching your kid instead of building your excuse. Plenty of kids, from Nassau, play YJ especially as they get closer to recruiting age. Your spreading lies. Yes all money will be refunded for tryouts, but this has nothing to do with TC. Given the circumstances he did the best he could with what was dealt.

Please remember that there are a few sick individuals on this thread who write stuff trying to make others believe comments are from one organization when they're not. I'm a YJ parent and I'm not worried.

Igloo moving to YJ is a done deal. Take a look at the YJ website. TC is listed as coach for his 2023 team, which will now be the A team and will remain intact. He also took his 2024 and 2025 teams with him. This was in the works for months! He made sure his 2021 daughter was taken care of in Liberty and threw the rest of the team under the bus! This is HORRIBLE as the 2021 team is 12 months out from recruitment. He could not take the 2021 with him because there are already 4 2021 teams on YJ. These 15-20 girls and their families are now left to fend for themselves trying to get on another travel team that has probably been together for at least 6 years. VERY BAD IGLOO!! I'm sure many of these girls left their former teams 3-4 years ago to help launch the Igloo program and look where they ended up. I feel very sad for these girls and their parents.

I understand where you stand as far as girls making sacrifices to help Igloo but in their defense in which I absolutely have no connection with them whatsoever, if they were unable to field a team, I think they did the right thing in merging their program with the strongest program there is. If not that, what do you think they should have done?

true they had to do something i think all the girls will find a place. it is going to cause some major changes in the 2023 YJ. but probably for the better. don't you think?

Maybe, maybe not. YJ was a mess to begin with and now the Igloo girls are getting thrown into it. Dad will only care about his own daughter. Igloo threw those Familys under the bus and now has the gall to send out an email invite to their showcase the they want to charge 500$ for a bunch of coaches that they PAY to attend. NO THANK YOU, I’ll wait till the coaches want to come on their own to watch my daughter play. How notIntelligent do they think people are??

$500??? for real???

Embarrassing isn't it? For a one day event, I even thought about paying 200 and thought that would be a little crazy. It isn't even an exclusive invite only type of event. The definition of money grab, sad for the sport. I'm sure the rich little snobs will stand out without any real competition in the house. Unfortunately, these coaches are being paid, and could care less.

At this age, the girls should gear up for Under Armor. The Igloo event is a waste of time and money.

The Under Armour tryouts for LI are not until May I believe. For 2023’s only 2-3 kids will even make the Long Island team (mostly 2020’s) The elite camp thing UA runs is a complete waste of time. This Igloo camp is silly as well. All of you on here have the ultimate platform to get coaches attention, show up to your summer travel games in two years and preform on the field, gear up to do that. Get selected to UA and schoolgirls, get the county awards for school ball and everything falls into place with out spending absurd amounts of money on these joke camps.

YES! Thank you!

The 2023s do not play on the same team as the 2020s. Under Armour has two (highlight and command) younger age brackets. Next year will be 2020/2021 and 2022/2023. I agree that very few 2023s will make the team,

2-3 studs for the younger years of both age groups will make it playing up.They always give a few of those spots to the younger standouts and deservingly so. This happens in all regions.
