This is obviously someone who doesn't get it; his mentality is 8th grade WINS are more important than developing your kid to be better each year. I think everyone realizes its a 3 team race; that doesn't mean these kids won't compete and give 100% when they meet these 3 talented teams.
So development comes from losing games rather than team practice? Then charge $500.
Again you’re lost; developed comes from working hard and playing against elite competition and in some cases kids that are 1-2 years older.
How does that work when the ball stays mainly on one end overwhelming the D as the A watches for most of the game? But at least you can say your kid plays in the 8th grade elite division of mostly 9 grade age players.[/quote]
