[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is there really a difference between a being at a small club and being 2nd team in a large club?  Either way it's a path to get more training, experience, and exposure that currently isn't happening.[/quote]

Big difference.   You have much less investment in your son or daughter on the second team at a big club.  The big clubs really just have second, third, fourth teams to make money.  That's it.  So if you're on a second team, you might not get the same level of training and attention.  At a small club, you're getting all the attention and because there are less kids you have better chances of individualized attention even in the team environment.  Small club may not have the platform of a big one and that could matter as the kids get older but at the early ages, small clubs have a lot of value over bigger machines.  The better question is where is the best training environment of the two choices, which has the higher overall level, and who has the better coach.[/quote]
