Lol at your puffing your chest and questioning my intentions in my post. My daughter is in 6th and plays for YJ 25, yes the good team... Just stating it is certainly a consideration I'd have if faced with that decision. Everyone else can do whatever they feel is best for their daughter. My point was I've heard people say they had overlooked that aspect of the decision and were only looking at size and skill to determine if their daughter belonged with the varsity group. Yes, physically girls may develop earlier but mentally they are still in 12-14 age in 8th...(and not too many 14's unless they are hold backs jocko).
