[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Seems like a kid who isn't good enough to play with his own age should probably be playing rec. [/quote] Bio banding isn't only about giving worse players an option so they can play competitively and get better. It's also a way to force of age players into situations where they're playing up. The other big benefits are it makes it easier for clubs to field teams and it makes parents focus less on individual games and more on overall development.[/quote] Bio-banding has absolutely nothing to do with kids playing up. It also has absolutely nothing to do with kids having lesser skills or soccer IQ playing down. It is 100% about late physical developers primarily born in the last two quarters of the calendar year. Especially the last quarter. [/quote] It depends on the age and the club. Everyone has their own reasons for xyz. The net effect on parents is the same.[/quote] How about trying the intelligent intellectual approach for once and take some time to read an article or research paper about Relative Age Effect and youth sports. Particularly soccer.[/quote]
