He also "plays up" with their 22's from time to time, so don't be so worried about his future.
He used to play up with his older brother on the 22 team. And he regularly plays in 8th grade, and even 9th grade games. So he is well accustomed to playing with bigger, older boys. It explains why he is so good now. All kids should play up. But you don't have to do it every weekend.

Obviously it didn’t go so well playing with kids his own size, so the parents opt for the easy route playing against what amounts to midgets. Wow. Great confidence builder.
Need to be very clear here, this issue is not about the boy. I’m sure he is a fine young man. This is about the choices his parents are making for him. This is about his parents and a greedy team using the child to profit.
Actually a child can excel at all levels. No way should he be stuck playing up just because he's been blessed physically. That's ridiculous... if he's capable of doing both more power to him.
"Excels at all levels"???
He can't play with kids his own size, so he plays with dwarfs and feels great about himself. How is that excelling at all levels?? He only excels if he is twice as big as his competition. Not sure that would be called "excelling" though...!!
