We do not come from a strong HS program, and the exposure with Express is much greater. Open to your comments


Unfortunately, this exact scenario is very common and will probably affect my son in another couple years...


Stay with the travel team and the coach that knows how to get the most for his players. If your son is that good- they will play him- because the HS wants to win- that is their bottom line. If he gets less playing time- their loss- he will still get his share on the travel team and then some fun with his town friends at the HS. Best of luck to your son.
