[quote=Anonymous]A top B team player at 9v9 [i]should[/i] be a A team player at 11v11. This seems to always get lost in all of these discussions on movement.

ANY B team player at 9v9 can be an A team player at 11v11.

It might happen within the club or the player needs to change clubs but that leap is not that large. Once at 11v11 puberty must be kind and the change to the big field exposes some kids better or for worse. But by U15, girls at least, kids are what they are. Boys still have room to grow but the technical side of development is pretty much set for both boys and girls by this age. the tactical side of the game is where most kids actually separate. This is when the early bloomers who rarely had to think will be exposed and those B and C team kids who have been grinding for years and understand the game can move up.

The biggest problem for kids is when they and their parents just accept their lot on the B or C team and they simply don't bother trying out for higher level teams. [/quote]
