[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For the top u12 clubs almost all of them are playing atleast some 11v11. If they are only playing 11v11 they typically will have 16-18 kids if they are playing both 11v11 and 9v9 it’s usually 13-15 and they will add a few kids from 2nd team when they play 11v11[/quote]Not true on roster size but yes, syc has 13 playing 11v11 I believe, loudoun 17 and McLean 14ish I think. If you listen to any educated podcast, the are doing a complete disservice by playing 11v11 early, not to mention the awful competition because they aren’t in any competitive leagues. Avoid clubs doing this at all costs. [/quote]

I am far from an expert, but my kid’s U12 team has started playing 11v11 and it’s definitely more pleasant to watch. They were looking so congested on the 9v9 field and sometimes the keepers were practically punting the ball back and forth. I get that it’s fewer touches during games, but they still do a ton of small sided games and drills during practice so lots of touches there. Maybe I  biased because my own kid looks better the bigger the field gets. It seems like a better fit for their particular strengths. [/quote]
