IIRC they are undefeated (or close) in two straight seasons at AAA and have refused to advance to elite. I only know one parent there but their story is that the club pushes a "we come from a rural disadvantaged area and we're trying to grow the game and don't want to push the boys too hard" schtick.

In my mind, that actually means, "more championships at AAA and at Aloha events looks better for recruiting new kids."
