Happens all the time. Just get a look at the Mineola PAL roster. Granted some towns surrounding Mineola do not have their own PAL organizations and thats where they play. I do know for a fact that our thwma which has ots own PAL has lost several players to Mineola. When I asked our coach he said they wanted to play with other friends and he wasnt going to pursue it. I thought kids had to play within their school district if they had a PAL.
