As someone from Fairfax County, I find this to be really interesting. Why do you think the coaching is so much better in DC/PG? Just from anecdotes, lots of the bigger AAU organizations in Fairfax/Prince William County (Family Over Fame, Virginia Elite, Nova 94, Nova Cavaliers, etc.) all seem to have a good chunk of Varsity/HS coaches that also coach AAU/Travel. Players practicing on their own, completely understandable, and maybe that's something that you can't control.

And I feel like all of the teams in Northern Virginia also follow a similar cost sharing model? How are they paying for tournaments if they don't do that?[/quote]

PP. To clarify, I was referring to the younger, grassroots teams in Maryland. I realize AAU teams for older ages are often coached by experienced HS coaches. 
Some teams do charge for overhead but I assume they keep a reserve, have higher expenses, subsidize coaches with stipends, maybe hire trainers, etc. But, I was comparing cost-sharing model to the for-profit or pay-for-play teams in DMV.[/quote]
