[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'll make it easy for everyone. At the younger ages be the oldest on the top team, regardless of grade in school. Reap all the benefits for 8 or 9 years then move to your grade year for recruiting in high school. Way more advantage to being the oldest from 6 to 14 than being aligned to your grade. [/quote]
Debatable, try being the youngest on an older team for a couple of years. Then play on a grade down team. You will absolutely tear everyone up. Unfortunately the advantage goes away after 6 months because players tend to play like the players they practice with / play against. This is why clubs dont have multi level practices all year. Coachs know it will drag down the older players and drag up the younger ones. You can do it occasionally though as long as you mix the groups up and down randomly.

The people actively looking for ways to play down want shortcuts. But these dont work long term or at the highest levels.[/quote]Oldest on an A team in your age group beats B team playing up everytime. Not only is playing on age not playing down ever, it is the default and only way in NOVA and MD.[/quote]
