What benefit is that? Terrible decision to stay on team if you don’t play!!! It will catch up at the end of the day.

100% Spot on. These “memories for a lifetime” folks need to see the big picture. Watching the Coach’s kids and friends of theirs, from the sideline, will not benefit your WS participant at all when it matters in HS. Enjoy watching these games while you wonder if your 3rd line middy will get in for mop up time.

Yup, or the kid who only plays wing on F/O or the FOGO at this age. Hence why you see teams like true blue get stronger as teams get older bc parents eventually wake up.[/quote]

You had me until “true blue”
