[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yeah 12 is way too young. For guys you have no idea what puberty and growth spurts will do to them. Fast, slow, talk, short - all still to come. And, even college/pro break is troublesome at 18. How many seniors on a college team look like the freshman? With girls you have a good idea about physical size and speed by end of u16. Basically, the best players will often change from u9 to u12 and then again by u16. Although, a good many get technically a lot better in college as well as stronger due to actual physical training work. [/quote] Coach here- we are talking about technically where they are at at U12. Sure, you can't really guarantee them as a d1 candidate but for the most part where they are at technically is a big indicator.[/quote] Agree. By this age you can definitely tell technical ability and soccer IQ. These are pretty major hurdles. The athletics and growth are out of anyone's control. [/quote]
