[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We had been told that your child should not be playing up unless they are absolutely dominating their current year that it's a joke. They should unquestionably be the best player on the field, not just team, every game. You don't want your child to stagnate in that situation, but in our experience those players are very few and far between. Now, guest playing/practicing up a year is a great tool to use for development for most that are excelling, but I'm not sure about full time.[/quote] Playing up should be used more at younger ages. The talent levels are so wide there. At about u14 the gap narrows so much its easier to se who actually should be playing up or not.[/quote] Agree. Playing up makes sense in the younger ages given the differences in talent and physicality. Our son played up until U12 and then it didn't make much sense as the talent/size gap narrowed. I think playing up was a huge benefit for him though.[/quote]
