[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Are you are talking rec with an eye to travel in the future (yes, play up if they will not be the worst one on the older team skill-wise) or playing up in tavel? In tavel, I always feel it is best to play on the very best team you can make at your age group. Only play up if the your kid would be the top player on the very best team at their age group in a 30 mile radius.[/quote]

Not OP, but I have one in rec right now in this situation. Softball, and playing up meant going to the bigger ball. It was such a catch-22, because the learning in 10U rec would have been incredibly minimal and 12U rec was the right level competition wise. It was frustrating because with the bigger ball and a small-for-age kid that actually made an annoying difference. With a kid whose hand is bigger it would have been a non-thing, though. Our family wasn't ready for the travel logistics, but looking back 10U travel would have been the sweet spot in many ways - yes even though it's not "necessary" at that age.[/quote]
