Beezer,
Good thoughts on having the best players gravitate to the highest level in order for them to max out their potential and reach the highest level. Your club (Bridge FA) will no doubt benefit from having these kids play in your elite program....and the kids will benefit from the exposure and the high level training they receive.
But how about compensation for the Mount Pleasant's and Charleston United's who develop these kids into the players that you want & need? If these kids are going to move into your professional environment, shouldn't you do what professional clubs world-wide do to acquire these resources? Compensate the clubs they came from? What's a fair value....$1,000 oer player, $1,500 per player?
