[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My son has been playing right wing.  It’s been his main position for a few years now.  He also plays left-wing and striker a fair bit.  This year he changed clubs to get more of a challenge. His new team is playing at a much higher level than his old team.  However, they just changed his position to right back. He is never played defense before and is definitely not a natural defender. This kind of scares me as he’s so used to playing offense.  My question is this: is it normal to change positions at U 14? I guess I assumed he would play offense because he’s good at it.  Pros/cons to changing positions?[/quote]

This is normal - especially so if you are moving up a level.  Usually when you get to the best teams in the area almost all the kids were at some point midfielders or attackers.  At higher levels those same skills are required all over the field - and right back may not be that different from winger at times, depending on how the new team plays.

Your DS will probably make some mistakes for a few weeks - but as long as he gets good coaching, listens and works hard he will be fine.[/quote]
