This reply is for El Retre` alone as it's about PeeWee dot building.
Some quick things to work with (and think about). Since 98% of most PeeWee builds are recycled at the end of every PeeWee season, there's a much different mantra to building there. For 1-&-done dots, it's perfectly fine to boost whenever... but most try to wait for the playoffs. I use to be one of those but now... not so much. Since your building in a limited time scale, you will find yourself using Intense training much more because BT's don't have the same meaning to you as they do to long term builds. You won't be buying AEQ... and you might not be enhancing your training as much. You'll still want 30% on your primary skill... but you can go with 3 way multi-training OR 4 way... usually based on the number of "primary skills" an archetype has. Like a Kicker can go 3 way... QB too... but a LB probably should go 4 way. And you secondary skills can get done well enough with 20% in them... but I still go 30% (some habits die hard). Also, using BT's to buy SP's is something you really try to avoid with long term dots... but it's something you WANT to do with PeeWee dots.
Hope this little bit gives you an idea or two about some of the different thinking about dot building for PeeWee leagues.

If I was building a blitzing linebacker, what would be the most logical primary attribute? I had selected tackling but feel that was a poor choice.

Speed then agility

Speed first, then Agility.
Why?
Well, let me walk you through how to pick a good first attribute for ANY position or Archetype.
First, you go here: http://wiki.goallineblitz.com/index.php/Archetypes .
Look up the position and Archetype you want to build. In this case, that's a Blitzing-Archetype LB. Now, take a look at the Major and Minor attributes for that position and Archetype. In this case they are...
Major: Speed, Agility, Tackling, Jumping (+.5)
Minor: Strength, Vision, Stamina, Confidence (+.25)
Now, think about what you want your player to do. Your LB is going to be trying to sack or hurry the QB, and to do that, he needs to be able to get to the QB. For that, you'll need Speed and Agility. Tackling will only help you once you get there, but you have to get there first.
Now, map out the priority order for your attributes. Your first two slots should pretty much always be "Majors", and Speed and Agility are both Majors in this case, so they go first and second. After that, you can pretty much pick either a Major or a Minor for all remaining attribute slots, though if you're torn between a particular Major or a particular Minor, pick the Major first just for the sake of building efficiency. And if for some reason you want to use an attribute that isn't a Major or a Minor, put it much, much later in your build sequence, sixth or later.
I myself would go Speed, Agility, Strength (for breaking blocks), Tackling, Vision, Stamina, Confidence, Jumping, in that order. But that's just me, and there are much better defensive-dot builders who would probably move some of those things around... though they'd all probably keep Speed and Agility in the first two slots.
.....
Something to keep in mind with Archetypes, though... the names really don't mean anything. They're just names, nothing more. Let's say, for example, that you want to test out a theory that Vision is really important to building a good blitzer. Vision is only a Minor for Blitzing-Archetype LBs, but it's a Major for Coverage-Archetype LBs. If you wanted to, you could pick the Coverage-Archetype LB to take advantage of Vision being a major, and then proceed to build your LB to be a great blitzer. Be creative! Don't let the names of the Archetypes rule you. Forget the names... look at the Majors and Minors for each Archetype, and pick the Archetype that matches up the best with whatever you want to build.

I know there's other ideas out there on this but we've been working with this as a basic plan for many seasons and it works well enough. Would be happy to hear your thoughts. Always looking for new stuff, ya know?

I don't enhance any attributes on my PW dots. I 4 way multi train as soon as possible, and convert all BTs into SPs.

This is horrible advice man. Sorry....but it is.
You don't want to enhance anything to 30% for a pee wee dot. I don't enhance any attribute at all but if you insist on enhancing than I wouldn't do more than 10% (1 star). 4 way multi training is not the best idea either for pee wee dots either. Maybe...and I emphasize MAYBE a few positions could benefit from it but I never 4 way multi train my pee wee dots. There are a lot of dots where I don't train the main attribute all.

Could you explain a little more about why exactly? I was using this pee wee season as a way to get back into the game and did not realize the issue with it. I thought it was basically the beginner league before rookie. Still a little com=nfused about some things.
