u/Collar-Wrong

I’ve been having this debate about summer club. My kid (3034) plays on the second team at the cusp of making the “AA” team. He has some friends are on the AA team but don’t see much playing time.

Is it better to practice with the better team and not play much in games? Or is it better to play lion share of minutes in games and not be pushed too much in practice?

My kid is loving club this summer and loves being depended on as one of the top players on his team. For example. He loves playing attack/midi but in games where his team needs his help on defense, he’ll pick up a d-pole and jump in. He’s happy; I’m happy. Just curious everyone’s thoughts.
