[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I too think it is crazy to think that these judgments are made at these ages, and I think that it has pernicious ripple effects for the girls' side a younger ages.

But wish all the luck to everyone looking this summer.[/quote]

It's not that crazy when you account for when girls hit puberty and when they're done growing.  From a coaching standpoint max height is likely determined.  Technical base is also established.  As much as people joke about U11 girls with social media pages, things start really early on the girl's side and you're likely on your path by U15.[/quote]

There are a lot of girls that quit soccer between u11 and u15.  Even more that just aren't as good at u15 than they were at u11.  So starting early isn't necessarily good. [/quote]

This is an interesting point.  We are moving into U12 this fall and the things the Pre-GA girls are doing is over the top...their summer training is in over drive, FUTSAL, technical training, team training, small group sessions, weight training & flying across the country to attend as many guest tournaments as possible.

-My question is, (we're on the 2nd team and would like to move up) [b]how many girls have you witnessed "burn out" from this over the top training approach?[/b]  Or do these kids keep this level of intensity up? I almost feel like we are missing the training already at U12. -Thanks![/quote]

Burn out for players and parents. DD just committed and we are completely burnt out. [/quote]
