Any advice on what clubs to join for 2026? Is that too young to join a top club as I heard most of them turn over talent. My son is on a local club team(highschool coach) but did make a more competitive top club (not bbl).
For instance should we tryout for patriots or leading edge next year?
Probably not a huge deal right now, it seems that most people really start to evaluate their situation around 7th or 8th grade. Right now, if your kid is good enough to play for a top club, it is probably a good move, he will just get frustrated at a less competitive level and will stall in his development. I went through the same situation with my son and the move to a club that plays a tougher schedule was a huge positive for his development, but to be honest, it was an adjustment not being the top dog on a local club anymore, the game starts to move much faster and it gets a little more complicated because they will run more complex plays.
