Default The highly successful UK Junior XC program vs. USA's nonexistantJunior XC program. Why?

I am thinking seriously of founding a XC school in Ionia for adults and Jrs to graduate into once their license is complete. But one small XC school isn't going to make a difference nationally.

Think global. Act local. The US is a big country with scores of clubs and FBOs. You don't need dozens of juniors to come out of each operation. You only need a handful. If only 10 sites focused on this concept, we'd have our 50 juniors in competitions here.

Once there are a bunch of sites committed, I'm sure peer pressure will start to influence some of the other clubs.

Just Do It.
