I don't know specific details on the fields except an identified location should be online in the near future. And, I don't know anything about Bridge FA/Mt. Pleasant coaching plans or anything relating to the Wando coach.

I agree about the no exceptions on levels below Challenge and Premier: the clubs should control all ages of those levels below Challenge and hand off the top U11/U12 players to the Bridge FA for Challenge and Premier development.

It would seem to be a win-win situation. The DOCs worried about their job status/income still run their programs and get paid (since most have few to no Challenge/Premier level teams anyway) and the Bridge FA runs all the Challenge and Premier teams. The club DOCs could still coach a Bridge FA team to have input and involvement in the alliance. It seemed like a good setup for all.
