[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Age is going to make a huge difference in this decision.  If you kid is Jan-July it very unlikely he will move from 2nd team to a top team at most clubs.  If he is Aug-Dec. I would wait for the age change but also try out at other clubs that will be making the change.  [/quote]

Most important reply in the thread.  We are approaching what is going to be a very weird time.  There are big clubs right now where half the kids on the U12 top team (currently all 2014s) will lose their spot, because they are Jan-July birthdates and there are 2013 fall birthday kids playing U13 who will drop down.  Meanwhile some of the kids on that U12 top team will be Aug-Dec birthdays who will drop to what will basically be the '6th grade' top team next year.

This will be a giant upheaval that most of the clubs will manage poorly.  Tryouts and player ID sessions for 2026-27 have already started at some organizations, taking into account all the kids' birthdays.

For your U12 player, you need to manage your own expectations depending on their age classification for next year.
