Recruiting a non starter for 2018 in the spring of 2017 appears very odd. I looks like they're dipping into your wallet.

I can't speak for the OP, BUT, 12u/13u ends for most kids in GA this month. The tryouts are June and July for the teams that will be together from August 2017 - June 2018....the timing doesn't sound weird to me.

To the OP, if the better team is offered then go for it. The higher you get up there the more likely you are to sit. It sounds like that coach wants your son to train and get better and if the chance comes up, like a blow out, I'm sure he will get your son in there. If that doesn't work out I would go with what works best for your family. If you work at home and can drive him the hour to and from practice for the better team, go for it. If it doesn't work with your family schedule then I say stay local. There will be a LOT of traveling as the kid gets older, but for 13u you can keep it local if you need to.
