Someone need to set up a spring league for travel teams like the do in Maryland. It would be a great way to get teams ready for the summer season. Just one game a week would be prefect.
The boys all play PAL - they practice and scrimmage with their travel teams. They need more? And PAL serves a purpose for the community - those are the boys that will play together when they get to HS.
There are more top tier travel teams in MD/DC/VA because they play a strong spring league against each other. btw, would be better for PAL because it could be more developmental
If the goal is for a stronger HS program, then not having local boys play PAL together t would likely hurt that goal. If your goal is simple for better travel teams and individual developement, then by playing together more against better competition will make those teams better. At the end of the day, this is a team game.
