High school coaches who want to keep their job as HS coaches play the best kids regardless of which jersey they wear in June and July at tournaments. Do you really think a lesser skilled player is going to play over a more skilled player because the more skilled player opted to play for an outside travel team? Not happening - coaches want to win championships and you do that with your best players on the field not on the bench.
Unfortunately, parents and kids as young as 10 years old are being scared into playiung for a particular travel program (lax, baseball, whatever) or risk being alienated at a later age - trust me it happens all the time, I know of several instances first hand of this happening and that's the big problem
