Court Time at the Junior Level

I do not think there is a answer that fits each kid.
It is up to the kid to decide what he/she wants to do.

As a Div 1 player, you will be receiving excellent coaching, which will have a long term benefit.

The negative, is that if a kid is on the bench too long, he/she becomes groomed to believing that their position is on the bench. They become content to be on the bench.

my son is a first year under 16, who plays for the club everyone loves to knock,
At the state champs reserve division, the club entered 2 teams in the state champs, picking 4 players from each of the 2 div 2 teams. The rest formed the second team. This second team consisted mainly of bench players.

With an excellent coach, who was able to get the boys to believe in themselves, they were knocked out at the semi stage, by the strong team, by a slim margin of 3.
The boys lifted themselves.

I do believe that not enough is done on the mental side of the game, getting the kids to live up to their full potential
