As someone else said, you know you can work this level because you have done it before in a peacefull setting. All they are adding to the mix is the pressure of doing it in front of a varsity crowd and the game counts. [QUOTE]

Tim,

Every game you work COUNTS. The players in lower level games, while not being as skilled as the varsity players, still work their butts off in practice in order to learn what to do, and their parents still come to see them play. Try telling the proud parents that the game their kid is in does not matter, since it is not the varsity game. Don't get caught up in the trap that the varsity game is the only one that counts. Without the lower level games, there would be no place for future varsity level players (and coaches) to learn the game.
