[quote=Anonymous]Hi Would agree with some of the previous comments. This is the age at which the physical difference makes a HUGE difference, but also the fact that you have no U14 option could push me to support the idea of playing up a bit. He should be able to benefit from the training, and seriously, we're going to have the most @#$% Fall season in history, after last Spring's @#$ season. It really is about training this season--not games. That said, please note the physical differences can be very significant. There will be players in 'adult' sized bodies with the coordination and balance of younger kids. There are collisions, there is a bit of pushing and shoving, and if your kid is used to being the king of the field he may find there are less talented but more physical players now able to move him off the ball and outrun him to the ball. You need to watch for the risk of injury between these mismatched kids. [/quote]
