[quote=Anonymous]Every year We hear abut the coaches choosing size and speed over the smaller kid who is technically strong. If you fast forward to U16. You will find that that coaches were more right than wrong. Yes there are the smaller kids who have outworked the majority to be technically much better. The small kids who are finally hitting their growth spurs and catching up. For the most part the bigger, faster, more athletic kids are still making up the majority of the top rosters. Far to often at U16 you have the same parents that were back at U9 advocating for the smaller kids still preaching the same things. The smaller kid is more technically sound or he's a late grower. The truth is even though that smaller less athletic kid usually is more technically sound. They haven't developed enough to separate themselves to be more valuable than the bigger faster kids. Very few have have gotten so technically better that its enough to overlook the size and athleticism. I think many times that bigger faster kid movs on to other sports opening up roster spots for those smaller kids leading even more credence to the fact most of the time back at U9 or U10 the coaches get it right.
