Try districts for a year or two, if you don't like them you can choose to put your efforts elsewhere. But I bet a 24-tooth aluminum sprocket with hex bore that in June 2017 you will be a huge proponent of the district system.
I have seen the exact same thing in NJ, and others have seen it elsewhere, and it's always the same. In fact, I am thinking of relocating to Atlanta just to convince everyone how great this is going to be  |
I have never been in the district systems.
My concerns aren't with the system itself, but in the details (that we haven't seen yet) such as:
1> Where is the volunteer base coming from (there is a big difference between a volunteer and a team member being told that they must 'volunteer').
2> Where is the growth in the district expected to come from, and how will that growth be handled
Truth be told, the devil is in the details. I'll withhold judgement until I see the system in action. In the end, I believe the district system is the best way to expand FIRST, but it's in its implementation is where the real successes and failures will happen.
