[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]While there are always exceptions but this article shows the typical size and skills needed by positions in women’s college soccer:

It seems most positions requires a player to be at least 5’5”. [/quote]

Thanks for the link.  I think I saw it a while back, but like most articles, they are gleaned from generalizations and I had hoped for some parents to comment on their kid's experiences with this.  I've seen some girls so thin, they crumple to the ground at first sign of physical contact.  Does a college coach ask them to bulk up?  Not unheard of in other sports.[/quote]

Colleges make their players spend a lot of time in the weight room to get stronger, etc. [/quote]

Thus comment is very true. I know many college strength coach that say most girls are just not physically ready for college soccer because many girls do not spend time in the weight room before college. They would be way head of the curve if you spend at least all of your high school years in the off season in the gym.

Second from the first comment look some size matters but to be honest if your technically good and have some size you will get noticed. This not the best comparison because she is just gifted all around but crystal Dunn is not that tall. But works her ass off in the off season.

But if most girls make it a point and figure out a time to get into the gym and work on there strength there play and confidence on the field will go up tremendously.

But all the other stuff like technical work will help as well. [/quote]
