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]

At least for girls, Durant is always good, Takeover is usually good, the Thrill teams that I've seen are very good. The rest of the DC and MD teams are very hit or miss. [/quote]
