This happens in both girls/boys- survival of the fittest and highest performing for the most part.

Here’s some advice - you’ve got about 6 years left with the kid in your home before they’re off to do whatever it is you’ve prepared them to do and prioritize whatever it is you’ve conditioned them to prioritize. Lax, any sport really, is a great tool for that provided you don’t blow it by warping them with your own neuroses and what-if’s and instead ensure they’re learning about dedication and persistence and team work while playing with friends and making new ones, and being there for other friends who live with parents who don’t know what matters. Good luck.

If your kid plays for NL, he's getting cut. If he plays for DCE, he'll stay on the roster. If he plays for ML, he'll see his playtime go up or down depending on how many guest players they have for that tourney.

More parents need to think like you. Besides the small few who go on to the pros or coaching, who cares about a 12 year old playing a game with a stick and a ball. All youth sports nowadays has gone too far and parents push kids too hard and pay for things that don't even matter.
