If the players are receiving better training and player development and playing at a higher level of competition, then the various high school teams should benefit. I do think this is happening in some cases if not across the board. Other than that, I don't know of anyway a specific high school team will benefit above what they would have under the previous club structure.

I know several high school coaches that were very much in favor of this merger and of their players being involved. So, they apparently believe it will benefit their programs.
