I agree with ATD, the 98's should be playing Fall 12U preparing for the Spring Season throwing from 40' with a 12" ball. Continuing to throw the 11" all fall isn't going to help them when they "have to" move to 12U come January. Being "behind" would be coming in spring facing 98's that have had 3 months at 40' and better yet, facing 97's with much longer time.
