[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you have a child or children then you should understand that Bio-Banding is great for size but who is taking the mental aspect into play. We assume a child is big that they must be more mature. Children are in the grade level they are in not only for size but mental abilities as well. Why should kids play to a certain age at grade level and switch only to switch back at college?[/quote]

So a immature big kid should play with/against smaller kids? How does that help the player mentally and technically?

And bio banding a bigger kid does not mean playing up on the "A team" either. But in youth soccer kids should not be put at a developmental advantage or disadvantage due to size. Bigger, faster kids often fail to learn the technical or tactical skills necessary when they are not required of them to succeed when their athleticism gives them a unnatural advantage.

And, by the same token, smaller kids also do not learn confidence as much as they learn survival and often get phased out or quit the sport out of frustration.
