I agree with this post mostly. The fact that these B level clubs want to play at the AA level is the real issue. Its why when you get to the high school age the tournments do not let in the lower level clubs. They only take the top 20 or so from the country and leave out these B level travel programs out there. I think the top NPYLL type programs only play in these tournments when the teams are young with the "other Guys" is to let there better players see what a real club looks like and they come try out for them the next year.
