[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Knowing that bottom 5 players of an A team and top 5 players of a B team are likely interchangeable, what’s the better option?  I think playing time and not sitting the bench are really important to development.[/quote]

I agree with this.  And also for fun purposes.  I’d rather play than sit on the bench and watch.[/quote]

I think it makes sense in theory, but if the A team and the B team are playing in different leagues with different levels of player and different speeds of play, then that top B team player is never getting the experience they need to actually succeed on the A team...  So more play which may build confidence and of course gives touches on the ball, but not fully beneficial if your goal is to be on the A team....[/quote]

The thing is speed of play is something you can adjust to pretty quickly. If you are not getting in games or getting little playing time for a year or two your confidence suffers. [/quote]

It is hard for a kid to sit the bench.  [/quote]

I really don't understand why parents, especially with kids on the younger side, agree to sign them for that [/quote]

I do! Parents love bragging that their kid is on top team. It’s like having the latest iPhone or cleats.  Kid gets frustrated though but expectant maybe next year is his year.... Next year is here and  he never gets quality play time or worse he gets cut.[/quote]
