+1 on this idea.
Younger players always benefit from having the opportunity to hear and see more experienced players play. I am in my 30's and have been playing for over 15 years. However, I always look forward to opportunities to watch and or play with more experienced players.
I am also heavily involved in ministry and lead a number of worship groups. In my experience, especially with younger players, the heart of the servant needs to be cultivated before I put anyone in a leadership position; even if there ability is up to par. If you give them that platform before they are ready you could create a monster that can be difficult to deal with. My suggestion would be to keep working with them until you feel they are ready.
