[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't see how this would matter. Some of the ones we've been involved with have been very recreational and not competitive with mixed grade teams like 1st/2nd, 3rd/4th so there are already a mix of ages. People who want more serious competition play club, travel, etc which aren't by grade.[/quote]

My son is on a mixed grade 1/2 basketball team but mostly
first and one summer 2nd. He’s in first with a July ‘16 birthday. They sent us a roster of the kids we are playing on Sunday with their birthdates/school and there are 2 kids with Jan/Feb 2013 birthdays. I just wondered if the kids complained being 9 and playing mostly 6/7 year olds. It seems like it wouldn’t be challenging at all. There aren’t club sports at this age.

When I see age spans like that, sometimes its because siblings are involved. 2 brothers end up on the same team even if one is a little older or younger because it's just easier for the parents. Shrug. Whatever. Your kid will only get better playing with bigger and older kids. We had 2 kindergarteners on our 1st/2nd soccer team in fall b/c their older brothers were on the team. We got clobbered by the 2nd grade teams as we were mostly 1st graders and 2 kindergartners. Nobody cared much.[/quote]
