[quote=Anonymous]We have a child that is currently playing up in U9. The reason we are doing it is because the coach is amazing and she is learning a ton. The games don't matter to us even though she is so darn competitive she hates to lose. Watch practices because that is where it is worth it to have the kids play up. If it is a great coach, they will develop so much in even 6 months, which is what we have seen. I do think you have to know your kid. If they get easily frustrated, then maybe wait a year. The kids are bigger and faster and some are more skilled. If they hate getting beat and get down about it, wait. If your kid is easy going and doesn't care much about winning/losing and just loves soccer, then go for it. Also, there are some great skills programs in the area. Sometimes it is worth just saving the $ and using it towards those programs (Golden Boot, HP Elite, etc.).[/quote]
