In a nutshell my (now 12U daughter) was on a Class A team for 3 years, last season we moved her to a B team To get more reps but we realized she is an A player.
Her Ex A team has invited her to play again and she wants to go because all her friends are on that team.
Pros: Winning team, players at same level
Cons: Win at all cost, Dont talk with parents
She also has a spot in her class B team
pros: More infeld reps, we have Parent friends
Cons: losing team, coaching is adequate, our player is best one on team
In all truth we prefer she stick with B class team, however our player has chosen to go back to the class A team.
So I need advice, do we let her decide or make a decision for her?
This is where I find parents miss the spot. There was a player that we were courting a few years ago. I used to coach her and was friends with the dad. He said he knew coming over was the best for her, but he said "she wants to play with friends" on a team that sucked. She actually had friends on our team. We see them playing on a field over from us and me and the player locked eyes while she was in the dugout, and I could tell she was hating her current situation. She turned into a nice player. She was my 12th pick on my Summer all star team as a sympathy pick. The kid had cement in her shoes! But a 12 yr old player will not be the same player as a 17 yr old.You STILL have to parent.

True dat!Never play on a team lower than your DDs abilities. When she gets to high school you'll have plenty of time for that.
