Does the added year really matter with maturity? My son is 12 and in the seventh grade. He is fairly mature for his age, don't get me wrong, He is still a child. He has competed against older players his entire life, being the youngest of three children. I just think maturity is learned by good examples.. IE parents, family, friends, and coaches. To develop a NFL SUPERSTAR, I say maybe...To develop a responsible adult I say no. You can not make that change , I believe, in a year.
