[quote=Anonymous]If you are at a really good club, playing your own age group after U11 is absolutely fine and beneficial in many ways unless, in addition to skill and IQ, your kid is simply bigger and faster than everybody else, in which case coaches will suggest playing up in practice and/or games, or maybe full time. I've seen a couple of kids who were by far the most skilled and highest-IQ on U13 teams get absolutely pounded over the course of the year and lose their affection for the game solely because they were physically outmatched. Everybody's kids and preferences vary a bit, but for my son, that was not an experience we wanted to replicate, especially with the possibility of injury. [/quote]
