[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I wouldnt question the coach assignment of the age group/races. They do their math how to get a higher score at summer meets and have right to do it. It doesn’t matter after a few years how many 1st or 3rd place ribbons they get, but it’s good to be challenged and it’s always beneficial to compete against older ages 
The question is - does she get an All Star designation if she’s 10 or swims as 11 yo? All stars might affect winter clubs hiring decisions and that’s the only issue I would look at [/quote]

OP here. I don't think this summer league has any bearing on her winter club. She'd be 9 swimming with 12 year olds. I agree it's good to be challenged! Maybe it won't matter in a few years, but at 9 it matters to her that she wins medals. Many of the 12 year old girls are the size of grown women. I think it puts the little guys at a huge disadvantage. I thought it was a weird rule. Just wanted to get a consensus if this is happening in bigger cities - if it's the norm...[/quote]
