Nationals doesn’t appear to be sustainable.

The model is taxing travel wise. It’s insanely expensive. And the output is about a AAAA HoCo team.

The elite kids who used to play have just about all left it alone so what you have is a national team that is about as good as BLC.

It’s probably still a really good option for non hot bed kids though. Definitely fulfills a niche of getting those kids east to play in top tournaments.
