That is a big reason why many of the best girls play AAU ball. My team is filled with the best girls from around the county. One of my girls plays for an undefeated MS team that regularly wins by huge margins (and is again undefeated). She easily scores 10-20 points a game. She left one of her recent games at half-time (with coach's permission) to get to one of our games, because her team had a 40 point lead and she wasn't going to play a minute of the second half.
In our games, she has to work her tail off to get points. She remains one of the top players on the court, but she is learning every time she plays. Come spring, we will have even tougher competition and it will really stretch her abilities.
