Hey
My daughter is an 8U player who just finished all-stars. Our team did pretty well making it to the State tournament and finishing in the top 8. She would probaly be viewed as an impact player on her team. She plays pitcher and shortstop, and hits either first or third in the lineup. She is also the youngest girl on the team and has another year of eligibilty for 8U. If she moves up she will get to play with her firends and most of her all star temamates and she will be challenged game in and game out. If she stays down she will dominate and be a leader. She may also become bored staying down, she may be overwhelmed moving up. Some say play up during the season and move down for all-stars, but she is a pitcher and that is a drastic change in distance and ball size. Still not sure what i am going to do.
