Is It Good To Play Soccer Against People Older Than Me?

What’s a Rich Text element?

The rich text element allows you to create and format headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, images, and video all in one place instead of having to add and format them individually. Just double-click and easily create content.

Static and dynamic content editing

A rich text element can be used with static or dynamic content. For static content, just drop it into any page and begin editing. For dynamic content, add a rich text field to any collection and then connect a rich text element to that field in the settings panel. Voila!

How to customize formatting for each rich text

Headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, figures, images, and figure captions can all be styled after a class is added to the rich text element using the "When inside of" nested selector system.

I’m 15 years old, and I play against 18-40 year olds. Is that good? Also, I weigh 80kg. Is that healthy at my age?

Let me take your question in two parts.

First: Is it good for a 15 year old to regularly play against 18-40 year olds? The answer to that is “it depends.”

Fifteen is generally the exact age where it is considered ok to play out of your age range. It’s generally not good for anyone under 15 to play competitively against older players because they usually don’t have the physical development of the older players. Since growing bones, muscles, and ligaments can be more fragile, you can be more apt to injury. Therefore, they can be at a disadvantage size and strength-wise.

Some leagues offer 15 and up divisions, and it’s not uncommon for good, young players in high school to play against 18 and sometimes 19 year olds.

As far as whether or not it is “good” for you, what you should consider is the other players’ skill level. Here is a simple way to figure out if you should be playing with them:

Below your skill level = bad

You may have the fun of being the best player out there, but you are not pushing yourself and not learning how to adjust to players that can do things you can’t.

Around or slightly above your skill level = good

Obviously you’ll have to push yourself harder and you’ll probably have fun doing it.

Far above your skill level = bad

You’ll be at a disadvantage. While you will have to push yourself harder, you will likely be a detriment to your team (if you play – and not playing doesn’t help you) and being outclassed might also destroy your confidence.

Eighteen to forty is a broad age range, so I suspect there may be a mix of skill levels. The key is to play against people that you can learn from, that are good enough to make you push yourself to become better, and that you have fun playing with and against.

Of course, your physical development can also determine whether it’s “good” for you to play older competition.

That gets us to your second question.

You indicated that you weigh 80kg (that’s about 176 pounds here in the U.S.).
