When you get 22 "all-stars" together on one team, some of the stars will fall hard and get no play time and when that happens, mommy and or daddy get really pissed off. I've been there before and it's not fun to see your baby sitting on da bench all game, especially when you're forking out $10K-$15K a year to chase a medal
This is the time when college coaches start inquiring with the Docs who the best of the best all-stars are. Grades, SAT score ability, ability to take tests, ability to listen and obey, do homework every freaking night, stay home and do not go out and have fun and play with your friends. When you go to the first game of this new all-star team to watch your player play and she does not play, oh boy, watch the F out man. Dad is pissed. All-Star is sad, pissed, crying a little and now questioning if she is even a good player anymore. This is not the time to teach kids how to ride the pine and have mom and dad pay $15K to watch their daughter sit and cheer. All-Stars do not like to sit, FYI!!!
