The fact is that the pool of players is definitely contracting vs 2 or 3 years ago. Far less teams in every age group and some of the start up clubs have faded away or merged. Its going back to the way it was 5-10 years ago where only the motivated parents are signing up. Lots of parents of B and C players have said why I am driving to MD every summer weekend to play on a 3rd or 4th team while paying the same as the 1st/A team to get crushed. These clubs were untruthful about the prospects of these B and C players and parents have smartened up. Put the money into tutors and a 529 plan.
