Does plying up when your not ready hurt you?
We have a great group of girls this year on our 12u team. They get along really well llaybfor each other. We are an average 12B team. The issue is we are a mix of 04/05. The parents are talking about taking the team and moving them all up to 14u instead of having them split next season.
My question is will it be harmful to the girls 12u eligible to play 14u (and probably have no shot at winning) when they could still use another year at 12s to refine their skills and possibly be competitive or will playing up the next level make them better in the long run.
