This is a fair argument. Playing time is important, but it’s also a good balance of practice vs games. Games are part of the experience, but practice is where you get better, and practice against better players is how you get better. Practice against below average players is only a boost to your sons confidence. It is a struggle for parents, but you have to weigh all these when choosing a team. 2032 is a little young, which is why having a good teacher/coach is most important. Playing for a top team should be the goal no later than 5th/6th grade. Bus has left the station by 7th.
