What about the middle of the road and weaker teams where kids may not get the exposure, where as, if they are good enough to make a top 5 LI travel club and play at an “A” or “AA” level their chances probably are better getting exposure playing with that team versus their HS summer team.

There area lot more middle of the road and weaker teams versus WI, 3Village, garden city, etc...

Not the kids fault where they go to school.
Those HS coaches should not hold it against them.
