Nothing ever prevented the top players from those clubs from trying out for MU, Arlington, FCV, Loudoun, McLean or whoever in the first place.

If a group of kids have played together since 9 years old or younger have a chance to keep playing together while also playing at a higher level, the kids will more than likely try and stay together versus branching out to other clubs like Bethesda, McLean etc and hoping to stay together coming in as "outsiders".

This is where the club is different than other DA/ECNL clubs. Metro does not have U little teams so the players you mention are not "outsiders" more than anyone else. Everyone on the team will be new to the club.

If you have 5 kids per affiliate club who have played together for 3-4 years and they have an opportunity to continue to play together they likely will do so. An affiliate club could have ten players who are of DA quality and if they can stay together they are more likely to do so than they are to branch out individually or try and strike some kind of package deal with another DA or ECNL club that already has their 10-12 inside kids to choose from.

These feeder clubs are not any different in that social regard than say a Arlington or McLean. Kids in the system will tend to stay in the system. Friends like to stick with friends if it is an option. [/quote]
