I kinda agree with this guy. AA teams play at a completely different level than non-AA teams. A whole different animal. So, is it beneficial to practice with AA teams, if your kid is not a true AA player? Of course it is. But it’s also extremely important to get quality game reps. There is no substitute for game experience. So who’s right? Real tough call. Ideally, the best option is to play on both, but not always plausible. Most people will likely take the AA option, since typically the goal of most players is to get on the best team you can, and then fight for playing time. If you have to pick one, I think you go that route. Go with the AA team.
