Currently, my son is seven years old and he is in a U8 team. In the past 5 in-house games, he totally scored 39 times. He is a both feet players and he can keep head up in dribbling. I have trained him with Coerver Coaching for 14 months. Some parents suggest me to put him in a U9 or U10 team.
My son was born in the first half year of 2003. I know if he is good enough to play some advanced leagues in the future (for example, Super-Y league), he need to play with players born in 2002. But I worry about if it is easier to get injured with bigger kids.
I would like to know some professional ideas about the advantages and disadvantages for putting him in a U9 team.
Thanks in advance.
