The age discrepancy is one thing, but if he is not going to play on this team, why play for this one tournament? It is fall ball for crying out loud. You should be seeing what your team is and what you need to work on. You should see who your leaders will be. Who will step up in a tough moment. Who will controll the ball, and who will play the best D. If you have a hired stud for this tournament what did you learn?What did the team benefit? Dont they all already have t shirts? I would hope the kids who are on this team would rather risk losing , but play than to get a shirt and watch some member of a different team play in their stead.
How do you know that he won't be playing with this team or a 5th grade team along with his older 2020 team? Eventually those kids are going to be graduating and he will still have two years of HS to go. If he can fit it into his schedule, why not play with his own grade level as well?
