Good list generally, but why do you care about size, esp. for little kids?[/quote]

I was the one who posted this list.  about finding those kids out of 75-100 kids you never have a try out of that size.  The clubs that do are just looking to form more teams and make money.  A tryout should be no more than twice the size of the kids who are able to be on the field for that age group.

for example u11 8v8 so 16 kids should be there and if you already have a team that size have multiple try outs so the new kids trying out get a fair shake.  Too many teams have tryouts with all their team there.  bad idea.  split them up, see how they do with others.  Also avoid subbing kids in.  If you have the kids playing and a kid needs to take a rest -well he or she isn't prepared for the try out.

size and speed can't be coached.  you can teach a kid to run properly though.  [/quote]
