That's the challenge a lot of these second tier clubs have. If they enter the big time tourneys and get smacked around nobody's happy, kids leave, and it's hard to attract new kids. But if they don't enter the big tourneys, it's hard to retain the best players. They will eventually leave for LE/BBL/TS to play with better with/against better kids in the top tourneys with the most visibility.
where are all the "it doesn't matter who you play for" dads?

I’ve said this several times in the past on this forum: play for the best club team you can make assuming you are getting plenty of playing time. The better teams will eventually get more exposure to college coaches but that doesn’t help you if you are sitting on the bench.
