But what if your kid doesn't and wants that experience? There are really good players on other teams in AA or surrounding counties without the means to play in larger tournaments.

Will switching to True local provide them a leg up? I know the True Baltimore team isn't very good but wonder if the AA county chapter will follow the same path. I don't have any experience in this regard but seems to make sense.

As for the top clubs putting their foot down, not necessarily. If it is a kid that they really want, they will let them play for the national teams so long as there is not a conflict. As for the advantage playing for True locally, it may get you a little more exposure with the club, but the majority of the kids on True Atlantic play for other clubs.
