[quote=Anonymous]Above all else....DO NOT worry about his size. This is a problem in U.S. youth soccer that the big kids are pushed to the front at the younger ages. And, it's a huge detriment to individual kids as well as the competitiveness of youth soccer in general. You're not playing American football or rugby, you're playing soccer. Any pro soccer roster has at least 4 guys 5'8" or under...often 5'5" or under. Giving into the "bigger is better" mentality only feeds the wrong mindsets and hurts all involved. The sooner your son realizes size has little to do with soccer, the more confidence he'll have.[/quote]
