There is a huge disparity in ability levels between the teams seeded 1-4 in Nassau and the rest of the group. A look at yesterday's scores supports this. Thursday's games will probably be similar too. My daughter plays on the one the top teams, and while she gets playing time, she's not a starter. What's a better scenario? To be a role player on a top team or be a top player on a team like Long Beach, Plainedge, Island Trees, etc.?
