[quote=Anonymous][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]

Lmfao. Dumbest comment of the year[/quote]

Why?  The PP posted a good article explaining what college recruiters look for. Unless you have any better article, please STFU. [/quote]

Height is important for goalies and Center backs. That's about it. [/quote]

+1. I agree if you are above the 5'5 floor - then height becomes mostly important for certain position like goalies and CB. Usually a team will have at least one tall forward for scoring off of headers. The CBs get in the box on both sides for the aerial game on corners so height is important.

However teams with a size advantage across the board become a real challenge and athletes keep getting bigger.

Look at the USWNT team - Crystal Dunn is such a rare exception that she is the only short player ever mentioned in these discussions. It's like saying if you are Mugsy Boggs tall you can play in the NBA. That's silly talk. Yeah sure if you are 1 in a 100 million athlete. That's 100% meaningless to anyone reading this board.[/quote]
