From our experience, most tournaments take place in July so it wouldn't really make sense to be on the team UNLESS they play in a winter and spring league. I am assuming they think it's not fair to take a spot on the team and not be able to commit 100% whereas another kid will be able to attend all games/practices and tournaments
hope this helps.....
the players I know who go to sleep away and play on a club team usually leave camp for the tounys. Only real issue for these kids is missed practices. However our club will be done w/ tourneys by July 15. Now my son is not going away this year but if he did he would only miss 2 or maybe 3 weekly practrices at most between June 22 and weekend of July 15.
