I really don't see your point.


Then you don’t care or know about soccer development.


This is nonsense. Soccer is organized by birth year. If a kid is a 2012, he is playing on the correct team whether he is 4'0 or 6'0. Height is not really an advantage in soccer. Puberty is.

Not talking about little guys. It’s a team that’s full of players a head taller than average sized players. Guys who do have skills but not testing them out on players their own size.

Don’t the kids want to get better? How are they getting better?


Are you drunk already? What on earth are you talking about?


I think the OP is talking about SYC and other teams in MLSNext that field teams that average about a head taller than the other team.

You should see the nonsense that goes on in AAU basketball or baseball. Its rare to play a team with all kids who are the correct age.


I have heard this about other sports.

I’m not opposed to that either. 😜

Caps on physical size or limits on how many oversized players there can be.

Controversial thought maybe but there
should be caps on size of players at U13 and U14 at MLSNext.
