That certainly seems to be the template a lot of teams use.
I remember getting a newsletter from AYSO once when I was coaching soccer. It was from the Director, explaining to all of us who were new to soccer what attributes were needed to play each position. The basic take was that you had a team full of fast, strong, coordinated kids. Given AYSO's mantra of "everyone plays" I was pretty well convinced the Director had never watched an actual AYSO game. I actually wrote to him to ask where you put the heavy kid who can't run, the kid who trips all over himself, the kid who's not in bad shape but can't run fast, the kid with a three second attention span and all the other types I'd had on my teams or seen on others. He never wrote me back to answer my questions for some reason.
