Highly doubt your bender is a higher end 05. Probably not good enough to make a good Elite team, so daddy would prefer he play U14 Tier 1 to say he's playing up.

And to the 05 guy, I have no problem with your guy playing up but most 04s are going to be freshmen next year not 8th graders

Most 04s *should* be freshmen next year (2/3 of them, statistically), but many are 8th graders after having repeated a year, or will be repeating 8th grade.

It feels like I know a ton of September, October, November and December 2004s who will be in 8th grade next year! I’m not seeing a lot of Bantam Major options... seems to be going away in favor of U 14 teams!
