You have to decide what is best for your kid and his situation. If he's nationally ranked one would think your travel team is playing in the right events. We have a local team, all nationally ranked player, every year every one of them goes on to play in college, but there are 36 kids on the team! THIRTY SIX!
So, do you want to wear the cool name on the Jersey and guarantee colleges will flock to see him...although he will only play once every 4th or 5th game, or would you like your son to play more and work three times as hard for the scholarship? Neither answer is wrong, it just depends on the kid and family.
