One of my DD's best friends is a boy that started playing soccer at 6 or so. He spent the first two years or so roaming about the pitch in his own world flapping his arms like a pelican too full to take off whenever he ran around. He subsequently became a pretty good player half way through the year before last - something just clicked and he would be sought after as a player after that.
Our DD had the guidance counsellor against her second to fourth skip due to perceived immaturity issues which we were able to persuade the principal were OEs helped enormously by her second grade teacher. The skip has been OK so far - God willing long may this last, one she was in a more appropriate environment, the OE's were shed like a snake sheds its skin (for the most part), intensity can still be an issue but I fear that may be inherited from me (LOL)).
You know your child best - follow your gut.
