[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would definitely not start at u6. It’s a recipe for burnout. I didn’t even know u6 existed in travel. DS started at u9. His club had a development program beforehand with strong coaching (but not travel). We skipped that but maybe 1/3 of the players in his age group started there. I remember some of those parents being upset their kids were placed on the 2nd or 3rd team so I don’t think it helped much. U9 seemed like a good age to start but there were kids who started at u10 and caught up fast so we could have even waited. He is now u16 and clearly no worse for not starting sooner.
