We elected to move my son up an age division early for soccer as he was already outscoring the other team on his own. His coach recommended he try out for the travel/development team.
My son is 6 and was the smallest kid on the field; some of the kids trying out on the same field were 10 (the tryouts were combined for U8,U9 and U10), and my son was still scoring goals and mixing it up with the bigger kids!  He will be the youngest player on his U8 team.

Such power does not destroy outright, but prevents genuine existence. It does not tyrannize immediately, but it dampens, weakens, and ultimately suffocates, until the entire population is reduced to nothing better than a flock of timid, uninspired animals, of which the government is shepherd." - Alexis de Tocqueville
