My son's best friends are on his Summer team, the talent on the school team is down and very few take baseball seriously. The school team isn't likely to venture far into the playoffs. The weather is much nicer when the Summer team plays and my son loves the fact that he faces and is surrounded by much better players in the Summer. He can't wait for the Summer season to get here!
In his case there's no comparison, Summer ball in a landslide! I can understand where it would be different for some, different kids have different personalities, my son always jelled better with the Summer kids and felt more of a kinship with them. If you let him prefer Summer ball I'll let you prefer the high school experience.
