[quote=Anonymous]There isn't a whole lot of difference between a 2009 born in Jan-March and a 2008 born in Oct-Dec. I am not really impressed by playing up at that age as it is usually primarily exposure to the sport. The talent and ability comes into play later. If the kid is playing up at 12, 14, etc. that is something else entirely. It is a well-known secret in our circle that exposure and name recognition is a lot at tryouts so getting on any one of the teams the year before bodes well for dropping down to the top team the following year. The question is--is it too much for your kid? Are 90 min practices 3X a week and loss of all holiday weekends, etc. a fit for your 2nd grader? There are so many opportunities to supplement a rec program through Club training, etc. You really do need to take into the account the burnout factor.[/quote]
