Next, that league structure needs to provide the value proposition to have the member clubs participate. This would imply creating a win-win situation for the league to make money as well as providing a better training forum for the member clubs.
There is the inherent problem: in that the hosting league must make money.
Is there a way around that? Teams already make money via memberships and(unfortunately) try-outs. Why must a league MAKE money? Why not have a league where teams pay just the extra money per field usage? pass the cost onto the teams, but just the amount to cover expenses. Perhaps an Ad Hoc committee of sorts with a non- for profit status can be formed and entice and organize competition levels for teams to emulate the Maryland format. Maybe the non-for-profit angle can have charities as vectors for surplus entry fees or even more from donations.
Just throwing up on the "cage" to see if it sticks.
