I went through this with my son as we started a team and finally turned them over to the high school program. Now I am going through it with my daughter. As I watch her progress I know will be ready to play at some point, but in 2010? 2011? Here are the arguments:
- If she gets in too soon she will be overwhelmed and it won't be a good experience for her.
- If she gets in too late she will be behind where she could have been if she got in the prior year, and behind the girls that decided to get in the year prior.
- And somewhere between.
I'd like to think that many many girls have a year of adjustment to go through and I'd rather have this year happen sooner than later. She is 9yrs old NOW and next year would be on a 10U team.
How did you argue with yourself over this situation?
