[quote=Anonymous]OP back. I'll try to answer some of the big questions that stuck out to me. Thanks to everyone for your input.

First, obviously, if my daughter wanted to continue with soccer, I would be thrilled and supportive. She's always loved soccer. But this past season, it really started to bother her that she couldn't keep up. She's very competitive and it was discouraging for her. Maybe when she's a little older and there's more strategy involved than just being the fastest runner, she'll come back to it and her size won't matter as much, but at this age, it really is about who can run fastest and she's fast, but just can't keep up with kids heads and shoulders taller than her.

Since she expressed some frustration with soccer, and because she's only 7, this seems like a good time to try out other sports that might interest her. And since her size was the main difficulty for her in soccer, we want to set her up for success in another sport, so it's not just more of the same issue.[/quote]
