The beauty of the NPYLL is that all games are played at the participating teams home fields..... The main reason why this format has not taken off is the league is not designed to be a money maker.
The OBYLL is a complete joke.
Unless someone who is completely independent of any club team organizes such a league it will never happen. ever.
I think more of the problem would be getting the field space. As you all know, getting field space is a gigantic problem and it is controlled by a select few who dole it out to their buddies. Getting a league up and running in and of itself is not that challenging, getting a place to hold your games would be an issue.
Home Field?? How would these "Premier Teams" find fields to play on?
1. Crazy Parents of kids that do not make a team will complain.
2. Board Members of Town Programs will fight it.
3. Public School Coaches will fight it and attempt to coerce kids into playing only for their team / town.
4. Directors of Select / Private Teams have limited field space.
5. PAL will fight it.
In order for Long Island Athletes to remain competitive change is needed. There needs to be a venue for kids to develop and reach their full potential.
Athletes need to be challenged in order to improve.
