This is true. Make no mistake about it many kids who on the top three or four teams that don't play and sit on the bench many times can not make another team who are considered in the top 5 or 6 on Long Island. This is especially so as the kids get older. Years of sitting on the bench financing the top ten to 14 kids playing time on the best teams causes the bench players skills to lessen while kids playing on other teams get better. Each parent has to make a choice what is best for thier kid. There are reasons to sit on the bench for a team like Express if the kid is in Catholic school. It may be a valid reason it may not. There may be reasons to sit on the bench for the 91 teams. Everyone has different circumstances and we make choices for difetent reasons. Just help your kid make the best choice for him and don't let it be ego driven. Unfortunately many choices are based on ego and not in the best interest of the player.
