I agree with this. The teams that we've been on have done their share of winning games and losing them. I can guarantee the loses have generated more introspection, determination, and frustration than the wins have.
We certainly wouldn't stay on a team that 'sucked.' But at age 10 is good, or 'mediocre', a bad place to be? Is 2nd or 3rd place out of 10 teams actually settling?
I'm thinking by the time he's in JR. high the focus of being on one of the best teams would be more appropriate.
