In my area, a good portion of the kids on the community youth teams have no aspirations to play JV let alone Varsity. They are great kids, but once the stick goes in the trunk after practice, it stays there until the next practice. That's neither good or bad, it's just the reality. Yes, even some of those kids go on to JV and Varsity, but the mentality is different compared to the kids here who participate in club and have nets in their backyards. Tryouts for the club teams weed out the average players (by our standards) for the most part, but it's all relative. If we are comprised of mostly average kids and we beat your team, are most of your kids below average? I doubt it.
