talk to PARENTS who have done juniors.

It is a failed program. poorly designed and implemented. moneygrab. they take all who show.

R u kidding MYS? Posting on a parents discussion board. Sheesh.

again, don't come here and go find a parent with an older travel player who did this program and get their answer to your questions. price is outrageous now. talented staff is gone.

Coerver is marketing.

I think if your child is particularly mature , able to listen, and driven then it is worthwhile — just to get so many extra touches at that age. There were a handful of kids who really improved. Mine would have better off sticking with Rec.

This is helpful. PP. Thanks. Curious what you are doing this year if you care to share, as I recall at tryouts we were told that all kids in juniors would be offered a spot on 1 of the mclean travel teams. We opted out of Juniors last year for our 1st, and based on the above, it does not sound like it would be a good fit for 2nd either next year.

Why wasn't this done last year if it is so appropriate
