All Clubs have a golden run, some longer than others. A significant input determining a club strength is the strength of the volunteers at the club, with the parents not willing to positively contribute to the club being the leeches that eventually suck the life out of the club.

I say show me a club with an excess of volunteers and I'll show you a club that is successful because "things just happen". Show me a club where you can't even get parents to score on game night and I'll show you a club in trouble.

If ALL parents volunteered in some capacity at their club be it on the Committee, Fundraising, Team Manager - the list goes on, for just a fraction of the years while their child is active at the club, then they would be pleasantly surprised at how much more successful their club would be. When selfish parents leave it to a few conscientious parents, then eventually the cycle of doom starts.

Basketball is like all sports/hobbies/pastimes. You are always going to get swings and roundabouts with who is the strongest and who is the weakest. The issue is that it makes no sense to have a very large gap between the strongest and the weakest.
