<p>I don’t think he should move up an age level because the other players would be at a very different level with him both mentally and athletically…it wouldn’t be fair to him…he should be playing with kids at his maturity level. Maybe if he were 10 moving up to and 11-13 year old league would be okay, but I think at age 9 he would be too young for that kind of team. </p>
<p>I think that as long as he hasn’t hit anyone, he should be allowed to pitch. He obviously has some control over the ball. (By the way, that ball looks so big in his hands on that picture–it’s really cute.)</p>
<p>It happens in other sports where sometimes people in your age group are just better or bigger…it’s downright scary in CYO soccer when I had to challenge for the ball someone who at age 13 was already 6-1 and weighed 160-170 (when I was 5’8 and 125 pounds (soaking wet), but it was part of the game and I had to try (I’d like to point out that we beat that team even though he scored 2 goals–yes I’m a junior in college and still remember and think about games from 8th grade when I was in my prime). </p>
<p>Also, what I don’t understand is why the league wants to disband the team.</p>
