[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]At a local big club (not BSC!) we had a coach who used to take the smaller weak kids, mine was one and youngest on the team, and have them body-push against the biggest. Who were mostly Jan - March bdays. Then he would tell them they weren’t strong enough to play. This was age 8. Yes we left the club, and he is gone now, but how crazy is that? So by age 8, you don’t get to play, you sit for much of the practice while the better half plays, and you are told how weak you are. Now imagine the boost that the oldest and biggest kids had. And several of them are indeed on local first teams now. There are exceptions to every rule but this is how things play out with a late birthday. And this is why many B team kids will not make a younger first team. [/quote] At younger ages (especially for girls) being more aggressive is a tactic for wins. I've seen it work multiple times especially if the ref allows it.[/quote]
