What is wrong with having a B team. If the kids want it and the parents can afford it where is the harm? I am the parent of a very strong AA player and two weaker B level players. It is what it is and we are not all created equal. There should be avenues for all players. Kids should still be able to enjoy the game without being groomed to be D1 players. I am not a Madlax parent!
You are right - there is nothing wrong with being a B level player, especially if the kid just wants to have fun and has not expectations of playing at a higher level.
I think the point is that Madlax has chosen to split their B team into two, which sounds like it benefits the bottom line more than the players. It depends a lot on the age of the kid, too. If a kid is in HS and wants to be recruited, playing on a B team is a bad idea. As a youth, he might be better served playing on an different A team that has better players or plays better competition.
