Go have a discussion with the coach of your choice, and ask him or her if the best way to teach the elementary team is by having them skirmish the high school starters, or if much learning would happen if those high school starters skirmished a college or pro team. I guarantee the answer is that no learning would take place. It's why literally every sport on the planet is divided into leagues...SBMM, if you will. Plus, SBMM has enough built-in latitude, especially now, that there are plenty of opportunities to play better people and learn without being overwhelmed.

  • When I was in high school, our football coaches always tried to make our pre season rough as shit, often trying to get games with teams that went deep in playoffs the year before in a division above us. Similar to how our wrestling coach made sure to take us to big tournaments with the largest/best schools in the state before we got to districts. There was a skill gap, but it was surmountable, we got better because of it. Alot of the players in Destiny however think that you can "git gud" by playing tier 1 players when you have a negative kd. It doesn't work like that, getting stomped into the ground won't teach you anything, basically if you don't present even a mild challenge to your opponent, then neither of you will gain from it

  • This. SBMM, especially recently, has plenty of latitude for good learning to take place.

  • You are wrong. I played high level in 2 sports and have coached. We get better playing against higher levels.

  • Only to a certain point, which SBMM already accommodates. Sure, you have the JV skirmish against the varsity. But you don't have the high school team skirmish against a college team, or a pro team. No learning would take place. There's a reason every sport everywhere has different levels of competition. I played NCAA Division I sports, btw, if that's suddenly a prereq.
