I seriously know several 80# girls that can knock the cover off the ball and girls that are 180# that can't hardly hit.
Then their skill level isn't the same.

The average US female over the age of 20 weighs 171 lbs and has a waist size of 38.6", so yeah in terms of the overweight American, that isn't big. That said, by comparison I am 6' tall and weigh 235 lbs and my waist is 38"....I seriously know several 80# girls that can knock the cover off the ball and girls that are 180# that can't hardly hit. I know this is obviously not a general rule. But at any rate....the big girls in 12U are not 130#. My DD is 5'5" and 160# and she just turned 12. I definitely would not consider her one of the bigger girls.
I am sure Men's Health and GQ will be asking you to be on the cover next month. I also feel like you are poking fun of a 12 year old girls weight which isn't cool.The average US female over the age of 20 weighs 171 lbs and has a waist size of 38.6, so yeah in terms of the overweight American, that isn't big.

I stated facts...I wasn’t making fun of anybody. I am ugly as sin so no GQ won’t be calling me.I am sure Men's Health and GQ will be asking you to be on the cover next month. I also feel like you are poking fun of a 12 year old girls weight which isn't cool.
The whole point I was making is 130# would not be considered to be big for 12U where I am from. Sure their are girls that are 60# playing 12U....but we have a 2009 team in our org which is 11O and the biggest girl is probably close to 5'7" and 180#. 11O is going to keep anyone from playing bigger kids.
I think what it boils down to is the strategy or notion of keeping girls the same year together as a team will more than likely be rough the first year of 12u (where you have all or mostly 11 year olds).
My 2 cents:well if you look up any growth chart, there is a steep change from 11-13 then levels off starting at 14. Again, I know that there are varying levels of talent regardless of size.
