[quote=FPYCparent]Alongside the availability of quality coaches, would the number of available practice courts also factor in any CHRVA club's ability to offer more teams per age group with fewer players per team?

Of the facilities I've seen, MDJRS has the most courts (11 maybe?) and it seems like this club may have the most club teams per age group.  I'm also guessing that the club owns that facility.  Vienna Elite may have a similar number of teams per age group, but that operation is spread across the Fieldhouse and Nzone.  (I'm not sure if they also use the Rockville location for practices.)  The St. James can do practices on 9 courts.  Paramount can maybe do 8 courts, even though I don't think they have exclusive use of "their" facility.  I'm going to guess that every other club of note has to pay rent, even if they can reduce some costs by using schools or churches.  If you don't own your facility, it seems reasonable that you're capped as to how big you can grow (as far as number of teams) as a program and you have to compete with other activities for space.

For those non-CHRVA clubs that have multiple teams with fewer players, I wonder if they have their own facility and are possibly the only game in town.  I'm also guessing that any rents they pay are cheaper than the going rates for court space here in the DMV.
