[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Everyone needs to stop being so specific about kids here. Focus on the club, team and coach. Leave the specific kids out of this. Many of us in the know, know who are talking about and it is completely unacceptable, especially since we are talking about 10/11 year olds. None of us want people talking about our own kids so stop talking about others.[/quote]

Thank you! I'm know nothing about the SYC teams, but still thought this was way out of line to be so specific about young girls.[/quote]

Basically there’s a group of kids playing up on every team. It’s starting to show out that maybe, just maybe, they should play in the new age groupings. That’s pretty much all that’s being said.[/quote]

Yes, when you’re a kid, you often train more. Kids who play up from U9-12 usually train more than other kids, and that’s why they seem better. Some of them are bigger, and some of them just practice more, so it looks like they have more skill.

But then the parents ego starts feeding into it, making them think their kid needs to keep playing up because they’re better than everyone else.

As time goes by, though, everyone improves. Eventually, the kid who was playing up can’t even keep up physically or mentally.

I think it’s better for kids to play at the correct level. If they aren’t one of the best players on the field, they should move down. And some of them, even when they go back to their own age group, still aren’t a top player there.

Parents need to stop pushing their kids too much out of pride. Is it really worth it just to say your kid is playing up? It isn’t healthy.

Just look around so many young kids are already wearing knee braces, ankle braces, and other supports. That doesn’t happen for no reason. A lot of them are overtraining at a very young age, and their bodies are breaking down before they even fully grow.

You can see that many kids who play up end up injured broken arms, joint problems, leg injuries, ankle injuries. Their bodies get damaged more than the kids who play at their actual age level.

you might play up when you’re at U-little. But that doesn’t mean you’re going to be playing up forever.
