A lot can happen with teams from U13-U15. To predict any teams future based on U12, U13-U14 performance would be a mistake. Think of U13 more like U9 all over again. You have growth spurts that likely have already happened to the rosters of the better teams which is analogous to U9 coaches selecting physically more mature players. At U9 older and more experienced players succeed in the first year of travel and the same can be said for players converting to 11v11.

How quickly kids transition to the larger field will determine their early success. Clubs handle this transition in different ways. Some will do very little obvious development specifically for early success at 11v11 and other clubs will start exposing their players to 11v11 in a variety of ways. They may play up an age at U12 in league or tournaments or they may enter special 11v11 brackets at tournaments at age.

This exposure will lead to early success but it is usually a short lived advantage.

Then there are the kids who either grow late or puberty just wasn’t kind to them. It takes some kids 2 years to get their sea legs back and others to just catch up physically. When the teams once speedy forward suddenly grows 3 inches and adds 15-20 lbs it isn’t pretty to watch while they slowly adapt to what their new body has become.
