Pal has a place and for most the arrogant parents on here it's probably not for their kid, but for many that just care for their son to have fun, play on a team with his town and friends it serves it's purpose. The rest of those who think their son is too good and doesn't have time for pal, let's see if your son even has any friends. He's probably a lot like his parents. They don't have friends and they think the parents standing next to them on their travel team are their new best friend. Wait until that friend stabs you in the back.
Maybe your son should remember who his friends are from town or maybe he doesn't have any? Like father, like son. Or maybe like mother, like son too. Pal is supporting and playing for your town. It doesn't mean you have to make it your top priority but it's nice to do.
