[quote=Anonymous] My D1 daughter had the best of both worlds, she was small until sophomore year of HS then growth spurt shot up to 5'8' so she learned how to play better to compensate for being smaller and slower but then got the physical too. Coaches very much look for size but there is no set rule. GU last year perfect example, when they played at Georgetown last year the tallest player on my daughter's team was shorter than 10 of the GU players, except the star who was 5'3'. If you're good enough you don't have to be tall, but if you're the same as everyone else the taller girl will get the spot. [quote]some coaches like to look at height/size as they can't teach tall or fast, but they can teach soccer field smarts and how to play the game better[/quote] This quote is true because it is how so many of the coaches think, but from experience every NCAA coach who thinks that way is kidding themselves--they cannot coach field smarts or better play.[/quote]
