[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kid is a u12 and has been playing center mid and left back. Different roles for sure but I think it makes a lot of sense to learn both. I’d be happy if my kid gets an opportunity to try something different [/quote]

Those are the two positions my son plays as well.

He plays at a Club that really values defenders and they have a lot of leeway to be part of the attack—possession Club.

His curse is that he plays well everywhere and not many do defense well so the Coach says he can’t trust anyone else back there.  But, he is a very intelligent player.  I feel like he does a better job where he can make a bigger impact on attack/feeding balls.

Think of Pique and Kimmi h.  I pointed out the goals Kimmich has scored from outside back recently.  In some style of play, backs are highly valued.  American-style play it’s a dead-end—boot it out, but if you are at an intelligent possession Club some of the best players are put back there.
