Soooo, if you're not one of their designated "elite" 5 soccer clubs or you are not a partner club, you're just rec.  Some of their partner clubs suck and are completely disorganized.  [/quote]

I hadn't focused on that bottom tier.  It does say "rec & feeder teams," but the idea that Potomac or Bethesda are going to feel kids through PPA, or Alexandria is going to feed kids through Arlington, is pretty funny.[/quote]

I'm in DC and not familiar with the whole dynamic.  But I have seen PPA teams and I haven't been impressed with any of them. They don't play in competitive leagues and don't appear to get the best players in the area. Did money change hands? What's the point of this? Because I simply don't see how an honest arrangement looking to find the best players would go to a club that's definitely not producing the highest level of players in the area. It seems debatable with a lot of clubs, but not with PPA.[/quote]
