[quote=Anonymous]The most important thing at this age is that they are enjoying the game, and bonus if there's some good character building as well, such as being a good teammate.  If your son enjoys playing with his team and they are all good to each other, then that is the perfect situation for him.  This board makes it hard to keep perspective because there is so much emphasis put on "top" teams, but reality is that half the kids who play are playing on teams in the bottom half of their club.  That doesn't mean it's any less enjoyable or valuable for them than it is for the other half.

As for aggressiveness, I liked a comment I overheard this week during a game where my son's team got destroyed.  One of the parents said, "They'd do better out there if they were more aggressive and threw their bodies around more.  But the fact that they don't probably bodes well for their character later in life."  That's not a judgment of players who are more aggressive, just a recognition that there's positive to find in all of it if you look.[/quote]
