[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]...Check out this really interesting NY Times article for one example: http://www.nytimes.com/2010/06/06/magazine/06Soccer-t.html [/quote] "[i]...I couldn’t tell for sure, but it seemed to me that the guy, Délano van der Heyden, born in September 2004, might actually be small even for a 5-year-old. The ball at his feet came up almost to his knees. [b]He was “playing up,” competing against boys as old as 9.[/b] When the game started, he was exactly as advertised: remarkable. Délano kept up with the other boys, a few of whom fell on contact and had to be attended by coaches, which he never did. [b]He showed the ability to kick with either foot. He could receive the ball with his back to his offensive end and turn, with the ball still in his control, and head toward the goal.[/b] ...[/i]" U5 plays up U9. unreal. [/quote]
