A challenge on the club’s side during this difficult decision players and parents face is that the club is filling teams immediately following the tryout, so if a player has an offer for a younger team (repeating last season’s age) but is waiting on a tryout to now “play up” due to the June or July birthday, the younger team cannot form. It’s important a player plays where she can compete and continue to develop skills key factors in the development of a player include: the abilities of those around the player who challenge her, the coaching, and the challenge of tournaments. Playing on grade level might provide a higher level of competition, and that will help sharpen a player’s skills. However, this might mean the player is also on a team where most of the kids are a year below her grade level. It is likely a player has a significant advantage repeating with the same age as last year.
