My daughter is a 2016 that's played two summers of 8u all stars: First year she played up on the B team and lost nearly every game. Next year she moved up to the A team and won a good amount (>50%) of their games at all star tournaments.
Almost all of that A team has moved to 10u to prepare for next season. My DD is still 8u eligible for summer all stars next summer. Her 2016 cohort will develop, but I suspect they'll be a weaker team vs last summer, just based on the #s of dedicated players showing up at all star tryouts.
My question is, do you think it makes sense to move her up and play 10u all stars next summer? Pros and Cons?
I am confident she can make a 10u team but it'll probably get stomped as do all first year 10u teams. She is dedicated to learning to play catcher and is working on blocking coach pitches that I throw into the dirt for practice.
My initial plan was to create the Avengers and make a big run in 8u all stars next summer but there's not enough dedicated 2016 players to pull it off vs the larger programs. Maybe having played two seasons of coach pitch all stars is enough and she should move on to real softball (as ugly as it'll be)
