[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My child is 10 and playing U11 in a CCL club.  She/he is one of the fall birthdays and has made the transition well.  The majority of the team is year older in school and 6-12 months older by age. 
My child has excellent ball skills and is a "smart" player.  Passes are well placed in anticipation of where the next player will be.  However, my child isn't a fast kid and it's becoming increasingly apparent 
as the speed of the game has increased between u9 and u11.  Basically all the great kids are now running at top speed the entire game.  My kid (who plays defense) tackles well and puts down these
beautiful passes (the crowd of parents often says, "wow, amazing pass!") but this kid doesn't charge the ball aggressively.  It's becoming apparent in recent games that he/she needs to step up the speed in which he/she attacks the ball and then passes on the ball. 
However, this is a kid who is more slow and deliberate in everything in life.  It's just who he/she is.  I haven't said anything and I'm not sure I can about needing to step it up in soccer.  Or can I?  The coach seems to like him/her very much but I hear him/her calling out 
in the game, "XX, run faster!, faster!".  
My child loves, loves soccer and I want him/her to have the option to keep playing if he/she so desires.  Has anyone had a similar kid and/or do you have any thoughts?

Is your child's gender uncertain or something? What's with the mixed pronouns?[/quote]
