    If they want her to play down she's not that good.

      She is good, they are having winter tryout and have an influx of 2005 players interested in joining the team.

Assuming this is club, you state she has been with team since Kindergarten, so seems safe to assume this is local club or local branch of big club. 6th grade is beginning of time to put the big-boy pants on. If she is that good, it's time to change clubs or go to higher level team within existing club. Soccer Play dates are over
        Plain and simple truth.

            OP probably can't see that his/her daughter perhaps is playing on a good team that makes her look even better than she is. She should play in her age group and if she is head and shoulder above the rest then they have a point. Until then they should enjoy the ride and not setting her up for failure.

Usually happens when a kid is born near the academic cutoff of June/July. Those kids are the youngest in their grade and holding them back in K allows them more time to mature and develop, and of course they are the oldest in their grade at that point. Similar to relative age effect... no reason a kid should struggle in school just because they were unlucky and born in a disadvantageous month.
              So now birthday month is an excuse??

              So what months can we have sex??

                As the first responder stated, it sounds like the current coach does not want your kid. You would be wise to pay attention to that. There is nothing worse for a kid than a coach who doesn't want her on a team.

                All that aside, you need to find the best place, fit, team, coach for your kid; regardless of birth year and current situation.

                If her birth year team is really that weak, I would look into other clubs. As other posters asked, what does she want to do?

                Is the current coach staying with the team for next year? If not, consider having her try out with her existing team.

                You didn't mention why the coach is suggesting the move. How about ask, if you haven't already. Share your concerns regarding the birth year team and see what he says.

                At the end of the day, you have find the right fit for your kid.

                  I would suggest you have no sex, so the rest of us don't have to deal with whatever that sex might produce.
