[quote=footy1234]Is it fairly uncommon for players to regularly play with an older age group if their skill level warrants it? We are with one of the bigger clubs in the area and my kid has been able to play up and essentially be on two teams this year, which has been amazing for their development. If they were limited to their actual age group they would be incredibly bored and unchallenged, but the only reason there has been the opportunity to play up is because of a strong relationship with the older team's coach and regular/weekly invitations to play in games, tournaments, etc. That option will not always be there and I worry about stalled development. It seems that playing/maintaining a team with their actual birth year is mandated, at least at this particular club. Is that the case everywhere? I recognize future cons with playing outside of birth year as well as the pros. Just wondering if playing up is really not something that's allowed broadly (not just at our club). TIA! [/quote]
