[quote=Anonymous][quote] Unfortunately, DS never going to be large in terms of either height or weight. He has decent technical skills, and hopefully will keep improving. Last season, he often got pushed off the ball by larger opponents. I think it’s worse on the girls side at U11/U12 as it relates to size differences as girls undergo growth spurts earlier than boys do. There are quite a few U11G games where I see girls that are twice the size of my DD and she’s average height for her age. [/quote] Right, but on the boys' side, there are some good players on higher level ASA teams (including red) who are short and small. I want to know how they handle this situation. Our coach didn't have any specific advice except "be more aggressive." DS tried, but that didn't work if the other kids were much taller or heavier. Next year we will watch the red, white, and blue teams play and try to watch what those smaller kids do more effectively than DS. [/quote]
