Stop the recruiting banter. They are 12. The cream always rises in time. The best players are almost always found regardless of the team they play for. Showcases, prospect days, UA AA games, etc. Don’t believe the hype. Your club program isn’t the only way.
This is the reality, just takes some time for a lot of people to figure it out...and you really have no way to know how your kid compares until you see them playing with multiple age groups in high school, or against the traditional holdback clubs during high school, the best players stand out, regardless of age. Playing against clubs the have 1 or 2 older kids is one thing, playing against a stacked roster is a whole different world. National tournaments like Naptown are a real eye opener when you start playing against the National club teams.
