Small fields will be beneficial in developing ball skills for young kids, but not all of these changes are good.
The shift to playing in birth year hurts smaller areas that do not have a lot of kids in developmental programs, as some age groups fail to form teams.
I have a 12 year old that is playing in U15 this year. I would prefer that he play on age.

This will actually make your kid a better player. I found that people who had played up a year in club soccer were much better players.

Your fears are unfounded, friend. There is no read to worry. From another US Soccer article:
quote:
Some clubs may use mixed age group teams such as a combined U-11/U-12 team. For younger age groups, where RAE may be more prominent, more than one team could be created for each birth year. Players also still have the option to play up in older age groups, if they need stronger competition.
