Cesa is all about winning state even more than development, that why players only have to attend one practice per week if they live outside the Greenville araea.



The error of your thinking is that you assume development occurs more at practice than at games and that teamwork happens from practicing together, not a player mindset.

As the kids get older, a HUGE part of their development comes from playing in the R3PL games. At least that is the case if you are competitive. As I noted elsewhere, if you can't compete in the games, then it probably does more harm than good.

I have also seen players who attend one practice a week who play a great team game while others are at every practice and don't have a clue about teamwork. It's more about the players personality than the number of days they are at practice.

Would it be better if the entire team could be at every practice? Of course. But does it mean the club is not interested in development? I would disagree.
