Here in GA (before PG was fully on the scene) we played about 75% of our 13U season at 54/80 and the other 25% at 60/90.

A few have said that the game speeds up at 60/90 but that wasn’t our experience. It was very, very slow and boring. There were also a lot more arm issues when we transitioned to the big field. Kids also struggled to throw strikes with the ten foot jump in distance. The 54/80 (bridge field) was a lot more challenging and played much faster for the kids.

We then played all 60/90 at 14U and I don’t believe that kids who played all 60/90 at 13U gained any sort of advantage over kids who didn’t.
