[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My daughter plays up on a club team (in a much less competitive league).  She’s I think the second tallest kid on the team and one of the kids that takes corner kicks because she’s “big.”

I think she will end up average height but just got an early growth spurt.  She’s only 3-6 months younger than many of these kids anyway.

She blends in and everything is fine.  She passes a lot and is not the star.  And I don’t need to drive as far for her to be challenged.

Much different dynamic than a little one with great skills being plucked to play with boys much bigger and stronger.[/quote]

Shouldn't the big kid be receiving the corner kicks instead of taking them?[/quote]

There are three tall players.  One is center defense.  Of the other two, one takes the kick and the other boxes out the goalie.

My daughter is one of those two offensive players.

Doesn’t mean she’s a star, there are other girls who are faster for example.  The point being she blends in.

It’s a different dynamic than if you are talking about a small kid who dribbles a lot but gets pushed off the ball like some people described above.
