[quote=Anonymous]Has your kid expressed a desire (independent of your own comments/questions) to play offense, or is it possible he's happy playing defense? My kid is a natural defender and really enjoys that role, he would play offense if the coach asked him to but it wasn't where he wanted to be. A lot of people (including parents) tend to dismiss defense (which is it's own skill set, not just a lesser form of offensive play) in favor of offense because offense is more attention-grabbing when you're scoring the goals instead of preventing the shots from being taken in the first place, but if your son's talents lie with defense, letting him develop it there rather than pushing him to the other side of the field may be in his best interest, especially down the road with more selective teams when positions are more settled and there's an imbalance of kids wanting to play offense vs. defense.[/quote]
