[quote=Anonymous]This is the age where most kids are moving to HS feeder teams…I would look into that a bit. Though it sounds like you aren’t quite sure about HS.

If he is seeing a lot of playing time and is generally happy with the team, I’d probably stay. What areas is he needing to work on? Generally I’d say to consider hitting first (unless he is an amazing pitcher). That said, you have to consider defensive innings too….my own 13U DS is a very strong hitter but “meh” fielder. On “elite” teams he’d struggle to get on the field defensively…and probably wouldn’t get any pitching reps. He stays on his solid high school feeder team where he bats at the top of the order, plays mostly middle infield, some outfield, pitches regularly.

Whatever you decide, keep up with the personal training. Good call on that. My older DS plays in high school and at frosh tryouts they really seemed to look at physicality/athleticism even in the freshmen- more than expected. Speed especially, but also strength etc. We were a little surprised as the middle school travel teams had not placed as much specific emphasis on those things.. Younger DS will be a lot better prepared for HS tryouts. [/quote]
