Message: [QUOTE="PhatOrange, post: 1192013, member: 229"] I don't agree with that philosophy especially since we're talking 3rd, 4th, 5th and 6th graders. Youth sports should be about development. The kids who aren't as talented skill wise, in my experience, get better, faster, by playing with better kids. They don't learn and their skills don't progress when they're playing with other kids who don't know the game and can't pass and catch. It's amazing how much better my first year kids get from the beginning of a season to the end of a season. I think a big part of it is because they're playing with a corp group of veteran kids who are pretty good. They're forced to learn quickly and improve their stick skills quickly because they're in drills day in and day out with the better kids. [/QUOTE]
