It is what it is. Make the best of it. Work outside of practices if you aren’t getting enough. My son made freshman team as a freshman, played every game. Made varsity as a sophomore and rode the bench all year. Guess which year he enjoyed the most?
Btw, none of it matters. My son ended up committing to a top 25 school summer after the riding of the bench as a sophomore. Tell your son to work hard and it will pan out.
