Thanks Genosnickers - we did just go ahead and sign him up for Tigers but since he is homeschooled, he doesn't know any of the other kids in the program since all of them go to the local school. I edited my original post and put in that with homeschooling he really gravitates to the older children and we have had many places he goes for lessons/classes place him in the higher groups because he is advanced. If our school accelerated children, he would be placed in a 2nd or 3rd grade classroom. With my little guy, if he is not excited and kept interested out of the gate, he tends to loose interest pretty quickly and we really want this to be a positive experience for him. It might not be a problem at all, I was just curious if anyone else has gone through the same thing and would love to hear any comments :-)
