Are goalies typically the kids who can’t cut it in the field?

My son is hoping to play goalie in the spring for his team. He is in 4th, an overall athletic kid with great stick skills and fast hit just really wants to play this position and begged to have the chance in the upcoming season. I mentioned to one or two moms with older kids and their response was about their own kids, said the same thing “Oh Larlo would have played but the team needed him on attack, he was too good” Once or twice ny son stepped in for a tournament when the team needed one and a parent would say “No don’t do that the team needs him to score points” … Is the general reputation for the goalie position that they are kids that aren’t as good on the field?

Goalie is the most competitive position at the higher levels. Inside Lacrosse stated it is the toughest position. If your DC can hang stick with it.

In a word “Yes”

Hardest position in lacrosse, pretty much any reference you find. Ask chatgpt, they’ll collect all datapoints. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=xNfePU2i0Fw

Absolutely. Poles are often slower kids but eventually the better athletes replace them.

Tell me you do not know lacrosse without telling me you do not know lacrosse.

Goaltending is a different sport from the rest of the field.

Sure in low level rec play, where the scores don't matter at all, put the fat slow kid in goal.

He’s not fat or slow. He’s tall, lean and a fast kid.

The trend for college is getting smaller quicker athletic goalies. At the youth level goalies should also play another position. You should allow your son to try it.

What is wrong with you?
No and go back to the hole you climbed out of.

You are disgusting.

Signed mother of more than one division one player none of which are goalies. However you have no clue what the he’ll you are saying and clearly you should not have had kids.

Your kid is never playing in college division one.

What a horrible waste of air you are.

He’s probably not going to be a small kid. His adult height is supposed to be around 6’1 if he stays on his curve and muscular. Do they tend to be heavier kids or smaller kids at the HS level?

What are you talking about? I fully support him playing it. I’m asking what the reputation is because it’s odd we got multiple comments from parents of older kids that were negative. Way to misconstrue a post entirely. Reading comp fail on your part!

There is absolutely no need for you to mention your kids are playing division one. There is not a single mention about college in this post. What a dramatic and hysterical nonsensical response.
