No skin in the game, but if the kid is age appropriate why does it matter? The other kids should feel priviledged to be playing against the best players in the game. Isn't that what everyone wants (kids, coaches and parents)? When my son was a U13 and U15 player that was among the highlights playing against the top kids and teams. Not a fan of the current holdback scenario at the youth level, but playing against the best should be. Learn alot more losing 8 - 7, than winning 12 - 0! Enjoy these times! Once at the high school level you will realize how silly most of this chatter is! |
