Interesting topic to debate. Is it better to play B than A if your team is an A as designated by the club, but really not A talent. I ask because True Blue, E3 and the Knights had some tough match ups today. Do the kids take anything positive from that? Or is better just climb to the top the B tier and then move up. My opinion, no benefit to playing A unless you can compete. There is losing and learning and then there is just getting blown out.
Agree. Better work you can do, kids are into it, working towards getting better. Sure, you can learn a lot and developed by playing against better comp, but blowout level does nothing positive.
Here is the interesting piece that I do not want you to think I am a pot stirer but, True Blue, Knights and E3 were complete blowouts, which proves your son's can not play in the big leagues yet regardless of what your coach says. Hence the word, yet. This comes down to the parents talking a big game that their respective teams are "A", when in reality, they clearly are not. When your club organization only plays you in B, C and D divisions (yes D Division @ Yale Bull Dog), you may win, but you have to look at the competition. Play with the top B/B+ teams and see how you do. Then you can beat your chest when you destroy them. I am referring to solid club teams such as Igloo B (which is really an A-), Express Schwalije, Express Chuck, Hitment and Legacy. Until you face these teams, you absolutely can not call your club team that your son plays on A. Just saying...
