My grandson shoots SxS or Semi Auto without any noticeable difference. He doesn’t like the one OU I own says it’s slow. That says something, few guns point better than a Parker or Beretta 391. The OU is slower on target.
Kids are very quick hand eye coordination sometimes too quick. Formal target sports even sporting clays highest scores made with precise eye pick up and gun insert points which favor heavy guns & smooth short movement. If the intent is serious competition that’s what the coaches will want.
Advantage to the auto or a pump for kids is the stocks can be easily adjusted as they grow. My full size Parker’s fit him now he’s 14 & 6’ tall, couple years ago could not connect with the too long Parker’s. At 12 he used a youth stock 870. Fortunately his interest is having fun and really enjoying SxS shooting.
