I have a few sons and one is not an A player- so landing on a B team is just fine with us- it suits him, his level, his development and happiness. I have other sons that are considered A level players- and play as such- but are marginally younger. Just wondering if you would accept a B team over an A team of a club that you are not as familiar with or is a lesser power house in the lax worls at the moment.


In my case I would say I would go with the A team for the simple fact that the boys will play against better competition and thus make him a better player. Although the flip side of that is if he does go with a "B" and they are playing a competetive schedule and getting good coaching, who cares whether or not they are A or B? Its all about whats best for your son and whether or not he is enjoying himself and becoming a better player in the process.
