Youth sport is Individual sport? What sport exactly? So football for example is like swimming? Running?

Every volunteer US coach should listen to the 21st minute to the end. Develop every individual without focusing on winning. Young people are there to play, not watch. Youth is about freedom of exploration before adult expectations rule. Love it.

I think for players to be given an equal opportunity to develop in the youth system may be to change the rules around substitutions being rolling subs and that each player on the team has the same amount of time on the pitch. Then the bias is only determined by the range of age selection parameters and how that is weighted

No questions? Who were there?

[@tylerwells703]

Regarding the relative age effect, I wonder why it is important for development, taking into consideration that it averages out when you get to the professional level? It would seem that the issue is really one of recruiting, they are not selecting the right players, rather than development.

[@tylerwells703]

I suppose that, if it is important, the simple solution would be to divide the youth year into two semesters. For half the season the January births would be the youngest and for the other half they would be in the middle. Not perfect but much better.

I am not in football, but rather ice hockey, and this age bias issue is HUGE - as is an adolescent development bias. The bigger stronger kids are always picked first, while the smaller ones are left off the teams and are left on the bench during games (not universally, but mostly). The long-term development impact of this bias can be huge and is ultimately self-destructive for teams. There is an „elite“ program in my city that cuts kids on a regular basis because they are not big enough, or not strong enough or not fast enough (never mind not boy enough) - as early as the age of 5. If it wasn‘t for the damage that it does to the kids, I would laugh at the absurdity of it.
