[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Honestly[b] if your son or daughter is good enough to play up two age groups in your league, chances are they need to find a better team in their own age group.[/b] Eventually this will matter more and more if they plan to play beyond into and beyond HS years.[/quote]

I have never seen a player in Virginia good enough to play up two years.  I saw one player up in NJ and she was very big and solid for her age.  In fact, I didn't realize she was an underage player until it was pointed out to me.  In Virginia, I have seen a few who are good enough to play up one, and some who play up who shouldn't.  [/quote]

Absolutely agree. There is NO need to play up two years - ever. There are players who COULD play up in a lot of the local leagues (prob not DA or ECNL), so not sure why Virginia doesn't develop players who aren't good enough. Its just a matter of IF they should... [/quote]

There is no need to play up ever, except for when my Freshman or Sophomore HAS to play HS Soccer. That is different somehow.[/quote]

But only if they make the Varsity team, correct? JV would preclude them from "playing up" in this situation. Realistically how many Freshman play on their HS Varsity team and get good playing time with upper class men/women on the roster?[/quote]
