Because of this, a player is not moved up in age level at the sole request of a parent. Gary Prosser stated that the Parks and Rec. Department have an established and effective way to deal with this issue. After this initial coach's suggestion, other coaches and park staff evaluates the player's talents and potential for success at the higher level. An exceptional player could also be moved up if they present a safety risk to the other players.
Some kids learn to hit and throw the ball much harder and faster than others of the same age do.
When his creates a problem, they should also be moved up in levels. The bottom line is it should be the Parks and Recreation Department who decides which age level the kids should play at. Prosser also stated that moving a player up in levels is not always what that child desires. It is an honor for some, but a horror for others. Prosser stated that he has seen exceptional players move up in age levels and still have continued success.
