[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Are B teams more lenient about playing their bench? I can see why the top teams want to compete at the highest level but is the standard more lax for playing times at the B level?

Also, does who starts always matter?

[/quote]My kids have played D1 and D2 in this league. The D1 teams play their non-starters more, actually. Usually all 10 players are D1 level. In D2, there can be a much bigger drop off in skill from Kid 1 through Kid 11.[/quote]

So a kid on a D2 team who isn't great would be better served playing house for playing time? Or will they get some playing time?  Our roster has 11 kiddos.[/quote]

All kids have to play at least 2 quarters in house....no matter how good or bad your kid is.  If your kid is pretty good, he'll probably play 2...maybe 3...quarters in house.

In FCYBL, playing time isn't guaranteed at all, but it just depends on the coach.  If your kid isn't great and there are 11 players, then he probably wouldn't play a lot.

One thing to keep in mind...if your kid wants to learn and continue to improve, playing FCYBL might be better even with less playing time b/c there are usually at least two 90 minute practices per week.  House only has 1 practice per week.  Also, b/c house has beginners, you won't be doing much advanced stuff, while in FCYBL, you'll get to practice zone D, press D, press break, etc.  Your kid will probably learn more about the game in FCYBL than house.[/quote]

Or sign your kid up for both. Rec/house can be for extended playing time under a lot less pressure to perform. We had someone on DD's team last year who did both at once.[/quote]
