are the yj making heavy cuts or just adding more teams?

Why would you need to reach out to CR you will find out soon enough. I do not understand your issue if she feels the need to rename the various levels of teams.Would it be that difficult to figure out the so called pecking order if the teams were labeled blue1. blue2. gold1. gold2. ?Let me guess if she ever decided to change the uniform designs the college coaches would never be able to find the yj team they were looking for to scout a particular player.It could be a reaction to the various yj haters who are always bashing the teams below the gold.

The bashing you mention is the reason she wants to have blue 1, blue2, gold 1, gold2 etc.......maybe not everyone, but I'm sure nearly all players would rather play on the color team that is higher status. This move would only be avoiding the truth, both organizationally and by the players. I don't think yj haters could care less that she's doing this. They are probably happy because it makes the teams weaker if they divide the talent, and it makes the brand weaker by putting a blue team on the field that is what it should be.

Can you give me the ranking by color? Where are the reds, greens and blacks in the pecking order thanks

The brand is the YJ NAME not the color of the team. You are all dillusional. They will not water down the teams. Thats is so stupid!!

Blue
Gold
Green
Red
Black

Wrong,

"The skill, ability level or what ever you want to call it on all other age groups between "Blue" and "Gold" is a large margin; "

That is the truth.

All this begs the question... how many blue teams and how many Gold teams in each age group now?

Bottom line is your daughter still has to show up and light it up for the coaches at the tournaments, blue 1, 2 gold, green, whatever. She may be at a disadvantage if she is a bottom half blue teamer. I would rather have her be the standout goto player on a gold team then the overlooked girl on the blue. Sometimes very talented girls just don't fit certain teams dynamics or certain coaches plans or politics. You gotta do what's best, and that just may mean playing on a team other than blue or even an organization other than YJ's. The blue tag will get her the look, she still has to prove herself on the field.

WOW , Well stated, not to mention true. You couldn't be a Yellow Jacket parent , could you

Committed doesn't always mean scholorship money, just means they are going to college and will be playing lacrosse

Or even more specifically, that they will be rostered on the team. Not everyone plays regularly.

Ok so you were able to get your website updated with all the info for your luncheon. How about results?

" just means they are going to college and will be playing lacrosse"
So funny that you people hate the yj so much that you try to make the above statement into a negative. thanks for pointing out that committed does not mean getting a scholorship ,the rest of us never would have figured that out without your keen insight.I wonder how many of these girls got into schools that they may not have without the lacrosse contacts.If you are going to go after the yj organization you are going to need something better then them posting the number of committments.
