[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]He’s 10! Go with the team that he’ll have the most fun with. Note that this decision will not decide his eventual soccer path. That will be determined by how much he is committed to the sport and how hard he works when he’s older. Did I mention he’s 10?[/quote]

Please tell us, at what age do we start thinking about these things and why you think that.  Will you say...But he's only 12!!! or But he's only 13!!! But he's only 14!!!!!.....[/quote]

Usually it's U15 when clubs move to more competition. This is when roughly all the kids have hit puberty and it's less about who hit her growth spurt first.

U16 for us.

Our son has a late birthday and we are late growers.  He was 15 all of U16 this year and he didn't hit his growth spurt until last summer.  He went from around 5'2" to 5'11" from April 20-May 2021.  He is predicted to be about 6'2".  His shoe size went from 11 to 13 this year.

He was a very technical, smart player and now with his size it has all come together.  He is an attacking center mid and now is the go-to player.  Middle years were rough for him because he had more talent but not the size too match and there was literally a foot or more size discrepancy in 6th/7th/8th grades for him.[/quote]

9 inches in a year!  :shock:
