[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op again - she also has a fall birthday so is one of the younger kids on her team. That hasn’t mattered too much in terms of aggressiveness/ height so far but I suspect it will make a bigger difference over the next year or two.[/quote]

Something to be aware of: Google "trapped 8th graders" since most of the girls on her soccer team are in a grade above her unless is she young for her grade? Her fall season of 8th grade there won't be a team in the fall because the 9th graders will be playing high school soccer.

The other thing to be aware of when she moves up to the second team and they sometimes practice and play with the first team and move kids up or down for games / scrimmages. She might be getting less playing time depending on how many first team players there are and how many girls are in between the first and second teams. Some clubs will roster more players for the second team because it is easier to move them up since some leagues won't let players move down a division for games but will let them move up. Or will have first team members who aren't getting playing time play down on the second team for tournaments. [/quote]
