[quote=Anonymous]Agree with 11:39 - I notice it a lot that the second or third kid in the family who plays soccer is often better than the first kid because they have had so much exposure to the game.  They have been at practices and games for a couple years, and likely kicking the ball around with the older siblings and the parents.  Plus the parents have already been around the block and know about all the various levels of play and training, so they can sign up kid #2 for stuff after kid #1 did it.

Nothing sinister here.  A kid who plays up for U9 and then drops back to his/her real level for U10 has a serious edge on the other players.

My daughter has a late year birthday, so she is old for her rec team and young for travel, and her year in travel had her playing a 7x7 format and positions a year earlier than the kids on her rec team.  So when the rec league moved from 4x4 to 7x7 and positions(+goalie) the following year, she already had a year of experience with that.  It worked in her favor.[/quote]
