And things like playing time for the 15th kid on the roster takes a distant back seat.

And if the kid/parent aren't ok with that (I wouldn't!!)....
drop down to the next team. Play, have fun, get better as a player.



I totally agree with this. I feel alot for the parents of the players on our team that don't get many minutes - they are paying their hard earned money for their child just like I am. That is where as a parent I would step in and have a heart to heart with the kid to see if they are truly where they want to be. Don't be afraid to talk to your kids about this.
