Never was a big fan of playing up,They work to hard to not have that dominate year or at least the chance of going deep on Sundays in the big tournaments. Not sure of where you play and the quality of fastpitch in your area but in my experience the top 12s Teams are better than 70% of the 14u teams. Last year my DDs Team played more 14U Ball then 12 and won a few A level tournaments but when the end of the season rolled around they dropped back to twelve and went very Deep in the PGF/World series/State /Metros Tournaments. The maturity level of the kids were all the same and they had a magical year. If Its an Option for you I would Find a Quality 12U team and see if they need help. Being challenged wont be a issue. Sorry to say it but I'm not sure I would be to Happy with 1,2 or three. Bought my older DD a T-shirt and the saying on it may be appropriate here. WINNING BUILDS CHARACTER TOO!
