DD is an 03' (12yo) who has been playing with an 02' team in 14u. We recently switched teams to checkout a team that is about 1.5hrs away. After a couple tournies, she has assumed the cleanup spot and is getting plenty of playing time even though shes the youngest on the team. Here's the dilemma.
We have a pretty stacked 03' team nearby that is having open tryouts with 1 or 2 spots available.This team is already qualified for ASA Nationals as well as the USSSA Elite Select national tournament for 12u. This team competes at 14u locally.
Both teams have some question marks in their own right. Given the opportunity, would you prefer to play with her own age group against talent from other states, or play up and compete against mid level talent against an older age group?
**I give her advice and we discuss pros & cons of each. Ultimately, I leave the final decision up to her. She's torn between the 2 and I kind of am as well at the moment.
