[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Which is better for DD's development, to play at age (u13) on a higher quality team or up (u14) on a lesser quality team? Both teams play in same league so overall competition is similar (other than age effects), quality of coaching is also similar, and she would start on both teams. Seems to come down to whether it's better to play with and against bigger / faster / stronger players or with teammates who have significantly better skills.[/quote] Playing up generally doesn't mean playing against better quality (mostly bigger not faster) if those are your options. My daughter's team wasted an entire spring season "playing up" for the bigger field against just horrible teams to get used to the bigger pitch. I get how some smaller clubs are forced to combine age groups, but you are almost always better playing against the top age competition assuming it's actually available near you.[/quote]
