[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's actually a very good idea. The problem with bio-banding is that it doesn't work with parents who are conditioned to think the results of a youth soccer game somehow change the world. What bio-banding does is provide a mechanism for the opposite of a player that is so good that they play up. The theory is that kids mature at different rates. Some mature early and some mature late. If you're playing for wins at an early age the players that mature first will have an advantage. Because of this the players that mature later get discouraged and quit. If this is allowed to play out you end up with teams made up of kids that are 5'1" at 18 years old. If you let some of the late maturing players play down they won't get discouraged and at 18 you'll have a team of players with mixed sizes. [/quote] Found the parent with the runt. [/quote]
