We live in the Missouri. If I remember correctly we have only 11 or 12 11u teams for the state. The majority of these teams come from KC or STL. What I see is that 11u teams usually play up in 12b or 12c. There's not many tournaments that are for 11u divisions.
Talking about size of the players, my dd is 5'8 or 5'9 2nd year 12u. I was scouting some of the teams from this coming weekends tournament. We are playing 12b. We have 2 11u teams in our pool. We play both of them this Saturday. They have smaller players. I believe the tallest is 5'5. But both of these 11u teams are ranked number 1 and number 2 in the state of MO. On our team we have 2 players who are close to 5'9. But also have girls that are still only 4 ft something as well. Size can play a big role is sports. But usually with size the slower running speed that they have. I've also seen smaller girls throw in the mid to low 50s in 12u. Which I'd say is pretty good. We have another girl who pitches with our team is 12 yrs old and 5'3. She pitches 53 consistently.
I'm a bit confused by your post. Are you saying the number 1 and 2 ranked teams in MO are 11u teams? If so what rankings are you looking at?
