Do you truly believe that (keeping it home) is the best way to help players develop? Do you believe that it will help all of the kids reach their potential?
Are there any other sports or activities that have proven that the best way to develop is to "keep kids that happen to live in the same zip code together"??

Please identify where this model works?

With few exceptions, in all endeavors in order for someone to become the best that they can be that person must be with others who are better than they are.

Academics, Music, Drama, Singing, dancing etc... and yes Athletics, in order to reach ones full potential it would be better to be in the company of the "better, smarter, more talented" players, singers, dancers, musicians, students, athletes, etc...
