The boys are a lot bigger in U14 as this is when puberty really kicks in. If your son was a giant in U12, he's probably small fry in U14. You'll find some kids well over 6'. Some co-ordinated, some pretty "un-co".

The game is a lot faster.

He might be the 9th player in a squad and get a lot of bench time ready for next season. He might be thrown to the wolves. Would he be better off being a star in Div 2, or an also ran in Div 1? Really depends on what you want for your son? I have seen kids gone from stars in U12 to benchwarmers in Div 1 U14, then spit next season because they weren't stars.

The coach obviously thinks he has potential, but if in doubt, talk to the coach and ask him to articulate his intentions / plan.
