I'm not advocating that we dumb-down the process, or go backward. It's certainly a positive thing to have a super club in the state where the best can go and be recognized and challenged.
My point to p&y is that there are casualties (that's life).
When Mary Jones and Susie Smith leave the Low Country Soccer Club to go across the state and play for Mauldin United, they leave behind the third best player on the LCSC team, Debbie Johnson. While this is a great move for Mary and Susie, because they are now going to get to compete at the highest level, it's not a great thing for Debbie and the rest of her teammates. The team is now weaker. Debbie may not develop to her potential because her two best teammates are no longer there for her to practice and play with. Of course Debbie could have went to MU too, but for whatever reason she didn't (finances, time, loyalty...)
It's great that the option is there for kids who truely have the ability, the means and the desire to get better. I wouldn't recommend "banning super clubs".
Just don't tell me it is great for everyone and that there are no negative implications.
