[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]ugh.  We got our asses kicked all weekend by some kids who we're pretty sure are 2 years older than some of our kids.  That sucked.  I had forgotten that "U9" means that my seven-year-old could be going up against nine year olds.  Some of those kids were gigantic.[/quote]

There are such disparities in size at these younger age groups.  Another parent and I were talking about how six months makes such a difference at U11.  Unless your kid is playing up to an older age group, I would hope that there are not kids two years older in the same game.  That would be cheating.

My son played up at U9 and U10.  This year at U11, he's finally playing at his age group.  But the November birthday still puts him at a physical disadvantage to some of the kids who have birthdays in the early part of the year.  At least the difference isn't as pronounced as it was when he was playing up.  I definitely feel your pain because at this age, the physically superior kids are much faster, win more balls, and can really dominate the smaller kids.  It does toughen them up, if you're looking for a positive!  We have several 07s playing on our 06 team and they are some of the toughest kids out there.[/quote]
