[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Question for people with more experience in travel soccer.

My daughter is currently playing travel soccer on a good travel 2nd team, and they have not faced much competition in the past year and a half.  We don't want to change leagues at this point.

Are there many kids who play up a year?  I know some kids do this at u9, but do they continue to play up?  DC would possibly make a lower team in an older age group, but would probably face harder competition.

We've thought about having her try out for the boys team, any thoughts?[/quote]

Speak to her coach and ask if she might be able to train once a week with the older girls to start.  If that goes well, you can discuss whether she can guest play in a game or two and/or if she should try out for the older girls team for next fall.  My daughter played up through U13, then all the other girls shot up and suddenly as an 11 year old she was struggling to keep up physically, esp in games/competition.  So now she has dropped back down to her age group but still trains with the older girls once a week which is a great balance.  [/quote]
