It is a good point Hoco has obviously gotten better. Would you not want to be on an improving team? Which team would you go join where you would be in a better situation? It is good for all the teams, parents and players to have more good programs in the area not less. I am sure the coaching has played a role in them getting better. You can always walk away, tryout elsewhere etc. I would think people should consider clubs like Hoco, especially if you are "trapped" on a power B team or a bench player on one of the power clubs. Also Coppermine, Md United, 3d Frederick, and NEMS etc. The grass is not always greener but the opportunity is there to be a big part of a rising club rather than a role player on a big club or a star on their B team. Very few girls move from B to A on the big clubs. Getting meaningful minutes in close games on a "lesser" improving club> being bench player/ only playing in blowouts/ star of the b team on the big clubs. It does sound like someone has an axe to grind against Hoco.
