>>[Hurst66] Do you see any of the high school teams, boys or girls, directly or indirectly benefiting, this spring, from the CUFC merger?<<
I think so. To take a specific example, there are players on the CUFC U15G, U16G, U17G and U18G Elite teams that are training and playing with better players than before with very good coaches (Eberlin, Hiller, Fryland, Savitz, respectively). The 15, 16, and 18 teams are all playing RIIIPL-East and thus are playing at a higher level of competition than is typical for the average Columbia-area team.
I don't think that there's any question that the CUFC merger on the whole has benefited the top 15-18 players in any given age bracket (i.e., their Elite teams.)
