Physical attributes no problem, skill level fine, and quick.
Current club wont do it but another club will. He's seems happy enough where he is but is busting at the bit to get to the big field and pts.

Is there any benefit to jump early into 13s?
In my opinion it’s completely dependent on the individual.
Are they completely dominating 11’s?
Are they physically more advanced than most other kids?
What advantage will they get from playing up and age?
Would they benefit from another year of no results, meaning they may have a bit more creative flexibility?
They’ll need to understand they’ll get less touches per game as well.
