Districts Wa State

Minnesota only looks like a good candidate for districts superficially-- in reality, we quite simply don't have the volunteers needed to run a district system. Relative to some of the more established areas, right now we have ~180 teams, 103 of which were founded in the last three years or so. While we certainly have the density (and distribution) for a district model, I would be surprised to see a Minnesota Districts model in the next two or three years. The program simply needs to mature here before a district system is feasible.

That's my understanding of the situation, at least, gleaned from talking with Mark Lawrence and some head mentors in our area.
