[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You can tell by 7th grade. The gap between strong players and not strong players is pretty wide even then[/quote] That is completely laughable and you clearly don't have daughters. Girls growth in puberty can have huge implications for at least a year or two on the field right at 6th/7th grade. I would say for girls U15 is about right. I also think too many parents push their kids to move onto the elite teams at u12/u13 and that's just dumb. I guarantee most of those girls will burn out and never want to play college soccer. They should be playing other sports, learning how to run/sprinting or swimming in off season to build endurance on the field. It shouldn't be soccer 24/7 and that's something the kids should start thinking about U14/U15 and be driven on their own to strive for college. [/quote]
