[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A player should only be playing up if they can start on the clubs next age group's A team.[/quote]
Ding, ding, ding...Otherwise, just keep them in the age group they're supposed to be in.  [/quote]

sounds like somebody is a little jealous they kid isn't good enough to move up or they have had a younger kid move up and take minutes from their kid[/quote]

DP. Not at all.  Only wonderkids should be playing up.  If the kid can't make the A team (or make it and get serious playing time and be effective), they shouldn't be playing up.  They will be able to get challenged appropriately in their own age group.  I mean, come on!, most of these Clubs have 5-6 teams per age group, surely little Messi can find space to grow there.  And, again, if he was a Pulisic, by all means---but when the kid is not effective in the upper age group--no need.  Get the challenge scrimmaging and playing street soccer with others, or like a lot of other kids do---form winter indoor/futsal teams and play up in that environment.[/quote]
