Playing time trumps everything.


Coaching trumps everything. If you can be coached and PRACTICE with better players the likelihood of improving will be greatly enhanced and accelerated. The goal is to make the roster of the best team possible, work your butt off to playing time, become a starter, and then the best player on your unit. Teams that play in higher rated divisons simply have better resources -- coaches, players, facilities, and growth curves.


Daddy ball and club politics very prevalent at this age. It is always a wise move to your kid if he is behind a coaches kid or a kid from a coach or admin from somewhere else in the club.
