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".

I say this kindly, I think you are being a little delusional. There maybe one player from either stodddert or Potomac every other year who would get an invite to DA/ECNL team. You will not see a group of players/most of the team from either club make DA unless the DA class is extremely weak. Stoddert and Potomac are not strong clubs. Looks at the tournament brackets and league results.

Take your kid out to a practice or two at Arlington, McLean, Metro or BSC. They will let you know if they are interested. They are not taking a lot of new kids. They sure as hell are not taking a whole average to below average team(by record). A place like Arlington runs 6 deep in terms of teams. Most places have 14-15 spots plus 4 player who practice with DA/ECNL but play for the top non DA/ECNL team. [/quote]

If 3 clubs can provide a pool of 45 kids to start with I'm quite certain that there are 8-10 players out of that pool that are capable of playing at a DA or ECNL level. But a core group of 8-10 players to start with is far better than starting from scratch every single year. It is not as if Arlington, FCV, McLean take all of their in house players either but they at least have a core group to add more talent.

These partnerships are not as much about filling current DA teams as they are about future player pools, 07, 08, 09, 10......
