When does the league you play in start mattering?

[GunninGopher]

Trying to gauge at what age does it start making a difference what level of competition and what league/flight you're playing in starts to matter?

Thoughts?

I'm sure you're getting a lot of good advice here. But I say it starts to matter when fuel gets over $4 per gallon again!!!

Yes it matters. You need to play against teams that are challenging which will help with decision making, speed of play, first touch, putting pressure of balls, 50/50 balls etc. For most ages after U10 Presidio is a joke unless a team is playing up.

Presidio is equivalent to CSL, SCDL, and every other pseudo development league out there.

Up until this very point all pay-to-play clubs are recreational.

It doesn't matter where you're playing.
