Playing any more than 5 tournaments in a year before the age of 13 is pretty much a waste of time and money (this assumes the kid is also playing local rec ball and it is a shame if he isn't). Ramp it up a little more the summer before freshman year. After freshman year, all bets are off.
But as far as sitting the bench, if the roster size is only 10-12 kids, most kids are going to play and play a lot. Most rec teams even have 10-11 kids and minimum play rules. It isn't until high school when some rosters have 18+ kids do you really see the frustrations of the kids on the bench.

So playing 2 rec games a week and 3-5 games a weekend is okay? That's 5-7 games a week. You think that's okay?
