[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have an August boy who started school on time, so is in 4th grade. 2015 birth year. I feel like this will be a negative change for us. Can someone tell me why it wont?

He is a mid pack player, not always a starter. He is relatively new to travel and is still developing. The majority of kids on his team are in 4th grade like him. He loves his team. They are his best friends. They mostly all go to different schools.

So next year he would miss the Aug 1 cut off and need to try out for a different team? Being a mid pack player right now that could be an advantage if he is put up with kids with less experience. But he would he starting all over with team dynamics and would desperately miss his friends. I also think he would be offended by playing with "younger kids" who are all a grade below him.

In this instance would you ask the club to include him in tryouts for the older age group?[/quote]

Yes, obviously there is a huge difference between asking to play up vs. down.[/quote]
