If the pro coaches are indeed worth the money, surely they don't need to grab talent that has been developed outside of Arlington?

How about ASA travel figures out how to better develop the talents of its resident population, as opposed to kicking its own residents aside in favor of kids from elsewhere?

ASA is a private company, but it doesn't own Arlington's fields -- it rents them. The fields are owned by the government. Surely that gives the government some leverage?

TLDR: Money talks. You could stop propping up the system where you become a victim of your own success.

Arlington parents will spend lots to put their kid on a travel team so they can keep up with the Jones's as they crawl and backstab their way higher.

Good coaches who want to earn a better living come to Arlington for more money.

Better coaches attract better players. Primary residence does not play a role in judging player talent.

Coaches who want to keep their jobs in Arlington have to juggle with pleasing parents who want to win at all costs and developing young players.
