I want my son to play on the best team in the area. If he is not one of the best players than he has something to strive for! If your child is good enough to make the team then someone saw some skill in him. They are not selecting your child on ability to pay but skills. I believe that on a team of 18 or less playing time will become avaialable whether it be subbing or practice time. It may not come immediately but with hard work increased playing time will come. To compete at the Elite level teams must be solid at every position. This would include the bench! Those players need to be ready to step in and seize their opportunities.
It is just as frustrating for good players when teamed with players with inferior skills. The advanced player loses confidence in his teammates and thus changes the way he plays the game. I put my faith in the system and that the coaches will select the best teams available!
