If you look at all the towns mentioned they all have one thing in common, they care about there Varsity as much as there club and the players, coaches and parents all put town ahead of club. Most parents from weaker districts are all in for club and shun P.A.L. and thats why your superstar, that you deem too good to play with those "lesser talented" players from your town will always play for a non competitive Varsity. If you and your kid really cared about Varsity you would have tried to help those "lesser players" not degrade them.
GREAT POST, This sums up our town perfectly. We actually have to beg kids to play varsity and jv after years of this mentality
