October of 06 is 2024 (5th grade) in NY. Are you interested in having your boy play down? Really?
I Will not have him play down during the year.He will play with his 2024 team regardless that most of the boys he plays with and against are a year older. I was referring to the Warrior tryout?
Your question makes more sense now BUT what are you telling your son that he can't make a team in his right age group? He has to play with 4th graders in order to make it? I wouldn't.
Not making a team only makes you try harder. Unless you have a child that has never heard the word NO before.
