[quote=Anonymous]Small but technically better kids will be passed over if they are also not athletic and at least as fast as those in their age group. I don’t believe it is just about size. The small kid with the better tech skills is no competition to someone who is more athletic and faster and with decent tech skills. No coach is picking kids based on just tech skills. At U9, coaches are probably looking at kids who are playing above their age group because they are skilled and athletic (not bc of size). I imagine coaches also look for soccer intelligence in their players, the ability to see and make plays with their teammates. That is a skill I don’t see as much even with team’s star players.
