My son is a 2011 player. He played up at 17U this year and it was a great experience. His team disbanded so he has to make a decision on whether to move on up to 18U or play with his age at 17U. He has been advised that college scouts will be at the 17U games more than 18U. Our experience this year was that scouts were at both because they played in tournaments that had both 17U and 18U teams in them most of the time. So if he finds an 18U team that is a better fit, will he miss out on a lot of recruiting opportunities if they play at predominately 18U tournaments?
