[quote=Anonymous]Much younger age group but I'm weighing the benefits.  I think it really depends on how much playing time there is like is 18u team mostly playing tournaments or do they practice more often.  I think initially there will be a large break in time, getting used to the team their system.
 My DD was bounced up in the same club, the younger team was horrible.  I don't think they have won a game or scrimmage in over a year.  I found out the coach had the pick of kids at the tryouts, and he cut all the guards that were better than his daughter, he was managing the team to her level or lower.

Now she is in the older age group.  It's much better.  I think the kids are happier in this group but yeah sitting the bench.  Which my daughter is OK with it appears.  The thing is in these loose knit AAU teams, she would pretty much be playing up everywhere she goes, because she is so tall and skilled, basically all the teams have some older kids on them anyway, so I figured playing up at least will take some of the pressure off her.
