Thanks for the advice. Maybe we will stick with more low key for one more year. Even though he did get an offer to join a top club. I don’t want him To burn out.
When did your son join a more competitive club. He had a lot of fun this past year with lost of playing time but also got annoyed because a bunch of the kids kind of goof off.
Do you think a top club won’t offer a stop next year (6th) if we turned down in 5th, seems most clubs like to mix up thier talent as kids get older anyway.
He did the change between 6th and 7th grade, it was the right opportunity at the right time. Every club has tryouts every year, so there is little chance that your son would not have an opportunity later on. As you can see by the posts above, there is a lot of moving around come eighth grade (along with reclassing, which seems to be a trend catching on in NJ) because kids are starting to think about high school, exposure, etc.. If your son is a good fit for a particular team, he will have a spot.
