As a person that has also been through this entire process I can tell you that as a rule, not much changes between now and 12th grade. The A players in 5th grade are the A players in 12th grade. Same for B players. Are there exceptions to that? Absolutely. But that is the exception. Not the rule. From my experience, this scenario is accurate over 90% of the time.
What's your point here?
From also somebody who has been through this. More like 50%. And it's completely different now. Only handful played year round, and that was as little as 5 years ago. Now everyone does. Kids are quitting other sports like soccer and football in the fall for lax. Huge mistake.
