Completely agree. Also, most parents do not understand

the difference in talent level between divisions. Some parents will see their son or daughter star in a low level game and think, "My God! He or she is amazing!" The truth is, for most sports, if your son or daughter is not clearly the best player on their team or even division or playing at a high level while playing "up" a year or two, little Jimmy or Mary is likely destined for playing for their hall, fraternity or sorority or corporate team some day and not the pros. And athletic scholarships are only for the highest caliber talent...plus, for most sports, they may only be partial and for a school your kid is not interested in attending.

Make sure your kid is learning the proper fundamentals for whatever sport they play, playing against appropriate level competition and the talent issue will sort itself out over the years.
