I will say i am not a fan because my team has almost all 8th graders now and is younger than most BUT NOW you can play events as a 15yr old as TC>GS AND PG are all grade class based for 14 and up.
I also think most good 15u players are probably on 15u teams and will stay there but the hired guns you see dropping in to play big events cause they are older but are in a younger grade class will be a pain and the academy's have a lot of them as you will see at 16 and 17
I just wish i knew when we were all looking for kids 6 months ago. I beg to ask..what is the point??? Your not being scouted at 14u for grade class so why have the exception for this age?
