[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Our experience on a big club's B and C teams at U9-U11 is that during the year the big, strong fast kids and the defenders got noticeably more playing time and everyone else was mostly even.[/quote] Definitely agree re the defenders. My son is tiny-ish but is nevertheless a good defender, and gets a lot of playing time in that position. I've been told that the reason is that the defenders don't burn as much energy as forward players, so they can stay in longer. I have no idea if that's true.[/quote] I don't think it's the energy, but game awareness. My son gets more playing time because the better players don't follow the game plan. Without him or the center back, the defense falls apart.[/quote] Same here, my son played defense for two years and most of the games he was in the whole time. Coach felt defense was the key and put kids he could trust there.[/quote]
