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

Say a teenager devotes the time and energy into becoming a junior racer in the states. Races a couple of times in nice loaned gliders, turns 18(21?) then what back to the 1-26? Backseat of the 2-33? What becomes of young adult racing pilots? Firstly, in the UK model you are a Junior up to your 25th year. After that I would expect you will want to assist in bringing the younger Juniors on. Remember that the UK Junior Momentum comes largely from within. At the ago of 26, surely you will be earning and not expect further donations. Perhaps a further problem is that in the UK Club structure, the clubs are largely owned by the members, and expect a club fleet to be competition-worthy. Maybe this structure does not exist in the US model?
