My daughter is gearing up for the fall soccer season in the girls Under-6 league. There were supposed to be six girls per team, and for the most part there were. One observation I had was the jersey numbers were reflective of the leagues. The jerseys in the U-6 league went up to 6. The jerseys in the U-8 league went up to the number 8.
It was the bottom side of the roster that was odd. Or rather even:
- 6
- 5
- 4
- 3
- 2
- 2
There were two 2’s on each team. Best I could figure is they didn’t want the pressure of being #1 to go to some poor child’s head.

Note that the larger numbers correspond to the larger sizes. I guess they expected there to be two small girls on each team.
