My child is terrific. Can she play in a higher age group?
In general, MYS discourages “playing up” in order to gain challenge. In the higher divisions of travel soccer, you will find many talented, fast and determined players to compete against. In addition, losing high quality players to upper age divisions weakens the quality of our top team in that player’s age group, which weakens our program overall. In addition, players “playing up” are often not ready for the physical play that they encounter at the higher age bracket, and may be at greater risk of injury.
