[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So basically you’re both saying its not skills development for the Bs, it’s more physical and roster increase.

Sadly, i also think there is a ceiling in what foot skills can do without adequate speed/strength in development, especially for girls. I dont know how you overcome that, realistically.

No, that is not what I implied at all. What I implied is that a B team starter is more likely to actually develop in soccer ways over the A team bench player. While training with the A team in theory should help the A team bench player the reality is there is likely very little that separates the A team kid form the B team kid. But, given a good environment and far more playing time the B team starter can easily pass the A team Bench player. Keep in mind that rosters are small at the young ages. If you look at a U9 A/B team as a eventual 11v11 player pool good training and playing is more important than which group of kids your kid is paired with.

The back end of A teams are filled with squeaky wheels who are no better than their B team counterparts. Most player pools are similar to a Bell Curve. Out of 20 kids you have your top 5, your bottom 5 and everyone else is packed in the middle, separated only by a coaches early hunch. The line that separates kid 10 from 11 is razor thin. [/quote]
