Once again, in a U13 tournament, top-tier 2020 kids playing A is not playing up.
The argument that we are keeping them safe is weak - teams who can move the ball and execute plays are much less vulnerable than those teams who have to grind out ground balls and rush the goal to score. There were a good number of big kids with poor skills in the B division, those are the ones to look out for.
I'd argue that you are putting your kids at more risk by exposing them to some big 170 lb 7th grader who feels the need to take someone out while his team is getting thrashed 12-0
