Great club track record, visionary owner. More competition in today's market: FCA remains strong, Team 91 with a strong national brand and similar "recruting brand". Looney's also strong certain years. Conclusion: more dilution in Greater Baltimore Metro Region could not have been avoided.

Stronger DC and AA clubs have slowed the hemorrhaging of talent in those areas. With collegiate recruiting contact delayed to the fall of junior year, more time for the college coaches to analyze high school film (at least in the better leagues) before watching a kid during the summer. More player development (position specific and individual, indoor and outdoor) are required not a nice to have option.

Scheme: Fundamentals are primary in the lower and middle school years although 7th and 8th grade team should be teaching a top flight motion offense, not the old Hopkins version of the alley dodge. All top clubs need an influx of younger coaches to keep the schemes current but age specific. Rec coaching offensive sets that are 20 years old are passe.
