[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]New coach - same pattern. The shorter kids are sitting on the bench regardless of their talent. Coach is giving the bulk of the minutes based sheerly on size. How long will this continue in America?  The same coach has repeatedly seen his teams destroyed by smaller players but has apparently bought into the American philosophy that bigger is better. Everyone thinks their own kid deserves more playing time. But, there's a couple of other kids who actually deserve it more than mine who are not getting on the field while larger (out of shape) players with zero shot at playing college soccer eat up the minutes. Is this the NFL mentality of America or what? [/quote]

Shorter kids definitely can play and start. They have to be good however. My son is probably the 2 or 3 shortest kid on his u15 team end he is a regular stater day in and day out. He is however, when of the quickest on the team and is fairly strong. If a child is the shortest, skinny, slow, and can’t play well — when then shit…[/quote]

Agree.  The short kid has to be [i]twice as good[/i] as the big kid to start or make the top team.  [/quote]
