Correct all are late 2000 (Sept cutoff) or 2001 kids. Should definitely have a system like hockey or pop Warner football for review. But in reality other than safety the only advantage is the club gets bragging rights that they won this tournament or that one. Any advantage for the almighty parental $. Unless the boy changes grade he will eventually have to play with the big boys. For my son it is the training at this age. He trains with 19s, 18s, and with HS boys team. Btw neither of my boys teams have ever had any any problem competing with and beating the Edge teams.
