[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]That BSC favors big fast athletes with marginal soccer IQ. [/quote]

Isn't this all clubs in the years before puberty?

IME it gets much better around mid and post puberty. U14 (girls) is when the girls tend to even out in size and the size advantage disappears completely.

Ummm. Did you watch the Women’s World Cup? [/quote]

On the girls side, it never disappears completely, speed continues to attract, height continues to attract.. and without technical skills, either are obvious preference and a big letdown when played.[/quote]

A girl can learn technical skills with a bit of outside training in addition to practice. You cannot teach the required size and speed.  Go to all the speed training you want.. it's a gift that cant be bought. [/quote]

Concerning straight line speed, my son was always one of the slowest kids on the teams U6-U11. He was painfully slow. Starting sometime during U12, he grew and, probably more importantly, his running mechanics improved. He's now one of the fastest players on his U13 team. I am a believer that kids can get faster with some work on mechanics and sprinting.  I've seen it happen.[/quote]
