[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Such assholes on this thread.   Are you really trying to trash a bunch of 14 year olds.....If you can't figure out that the 13-16 year old range is the probably the oddest time for a child and team, you are an idiot.  Some kids get big fast...some not so much.  Which is why W/Ls don't mean crap because that "loosing" kid that small and slow, if trained properly and improves on field IQ will surely catch up physically and dominate their once big kid they played at 14.

Many of those games—even the big losses were even match until all but the last 15 minutes when the much smaller team/FCB was gassed out.  What is more telling is keeping the style under deep pressure which wasn’t done as the new team started in September, but started coming together over time. Progression is important.  The way they looked last week versus how they played in September/October is a big difference.  If they stick to method size will become less and less important.  Playing teams with large rosters and 5’10-5’11” 13-14 year olds is actually good because the team isn’t relying on size advantage and is being forced to work around that, get creative, play quicker balls and “think fast”.

For a 13-year old, I’d rather have my kid on that side of the field and being challenged than winning big every game.  The good thing with pro/rel is it sorts itself out. If it’s too much, it will adjust. Last year many losing Fall teams became winning spring teams through development, not physical growth.  Free market is good, some parents want instant gratification.[/quote]

Many 04 and 05 Barca parents voiced their unhappiness when meeting with the technical director.  The technical staff attributes struggles in 2004-2005 age groups to being overrun by more athletic kids from other teams, which hit maturity earlier.   I think they will recruit hard players from other clubs this spring and move underperforming 04 and 05 players to the lower level teams next year.  The results will improve.    [/quote]

I love how parents complain their kid's way to the B team. LOL[/quote]

So they are also looking for 'size'?  I thought their concept of development was 'size' doesn't matter?  If they just bring in bigger/taller kids how is that different than anywhere else in the area where the First teams are comprised of Jan-June birthdays and larger kids vs kids that just turned 13 Oct/Nov/Dec?[/quote]

Yeah, this would be disappointing IF it happens and negate most of what I said about paying attention to development over results.
