Who the hell slides tackle a teammate in practice at age 10? Total bush league. Sounds like kid wasn't taught how to play proper defense - move your friggin' feet.

I'd tell my DS to curb stomp the kid with his cleat if they kept pulling that crap. [/quote]

It's usually the overweight, out of shape kids that slide tackle or pull the red card moves. They can't keep up and skills usually aren't on par so they have no other recourse but to foul. [/quote]

fatties like to foul.[/quote]

My U15 son's team played a team that had one fat girl on the team.  She couldn't keep up so she would go in and dirty slide tackle the boys, foul atrociously---because she was a girl the boys weren't giving it to her back.

I told my son f*ck that.  If she is going to be on the field, she is fair game.  When I played with the boys, I expected to be treated the same.  If I was going to be a fouling douche, I deserved to be fouled back.  The problem is parents and teams won't do this.  EQUALITY.[/quote]

This is why girls should not play with or against boys after U12 in anything other than scrimmaging or co-ed rec soccer.  The boys are in a no-win situation.  They are all taught not to hit a girl and then the girls come in hard on them.  The boys (at least most of them) won't retaliate or be as physical back to the girls though.  It makes for a dangerous situation and the game play is diminished.  I'm not saying girls aren't as fast or skilled or anything like that.  It's just a dynamic that doesn't work in anyone's favor.[/quote]

We have one on our U13 team who is a fantastic and aggressive player.   However, the boys have so much better chemistry of late and play better without her.  The last few games she couldn't make it our boys beat the 2 top teams and it was a heartfelt aggressive game.  When she's in (she's a starter) there isn't that chemistry.  It's hard to describe. I think she is at the point she really should phase onto an all-girl team  She could make any of the top girls' teams in the area.  This isn't the 1980s when I played and we had to sometimes find a boys' team to get that competitive edge.  Plus--the last few games were horribly physical and we were playing man-boys that look like they were 17.  The disparity for her (fully grown/not terribly tall) will be even greater next year.[/quote]
