[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This thread is entitled Playing Time Expectations. So IMO, a key question might be, when do these genetics assert themselves? Should an 8 or 9 YO see significantly less time than a larger peer even if the child has a great soccer pedigree? Honestly, most coaches have NO idea which kids have soccer-playing parents. So what determines field time? First impression of talent, right? Which perpetuates itself because more field time leads to greater improvement. This is not to say that travel teams should be totally equal. But this IS to say that potential cannot be assumed at these early ages, and there should be at least a 50 percent game minimum, along with position switching, until age 12 or so. [/quote]

What determines playing time and team. First it is aggression from that pool speed and size. Having been around this a while aggression at u9-u12 has no correlation to the players soccer IQ or skill abilities. A lot of time it masks the lack of those. These will not show till u14. [/quote]
