I was just using that format as an example if it were about player development not a business. We all know its a business for those who run the clubs. It will never be about loyalty or the kids.
I agree but loyalty works both ways, in these "loyal" organizations where they tried the no tryout route, the better players tryout for the best teams and if they make it they jump ship while the rest of the players who don't have options stay. eventually making them a weaker team - the players and the families have the same loyalty as the big clubs, none.
