[quote=Anonymous]In what ways is he getting frustrated?

With my own kids, grade 3 and below were pretty much like baby ball and there were a lot of handicaps put in place in terms of rules.

Grade 4 is where you start seeing better play and it gets better too.

A lot of it comes down to the team and coach you get in rec ball too.

There actually are higher level basketball opportunities for grade 4.  Both aau/travel and a kind of in between of rec and that higher level.

A lot of the aau teams already had their tryouts back in August or September, if not March.  But there are some teams(not aau) that play seasonal/winter only that are likely wrapping up their fall seasons now and will be having winter tryouts in the next couple of weeks.  If you're looking for your son to move up a level but not quite aau level, these are the type of opportunities that you're probably be interested in.  But although you would hope so, not every "higher" level team/paid coaching is better than well coached rec teams.

I'm not too familiar with the Sterling area, so can't really point you towards any teams.[/quote]
