MBSOC,

Thanks for the clearing. There's always more than is "widely" known.

To further expand on your comment, "it was an effort on the part of many people to bring together the best talent on the coast where the 88's were concerned. Parents with serious players recognized where the best coaching and development was happening." Bridge FA will provide this for all age groups, U13-U18, so individual groups of parents won't have to do it in the future. Not only is it intended to pool the players, but also the coaching, therefore, adding stability under an organizational structure, where all clubs, parents, and most importantly, players, have the potential of playing with the best, and being trained by the best.

Kevin,
I think I said somewhere that I was familiar with the Columbia area. I honestly think the model that we are putting in place down here would also work in Columbia.
