[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]

changing positions can happy at any age any time. it is totally normal for U14.

good right back/left back is very hard to find. you need good skill/athleticism/iq to play well. since a lot of teams like to build from back. coach moved him for at least one of following reasons:

1. there is no player can play right back better than him.
2. there are better players for left-wing and striker.

if it is 2, he will need to prove to coach that he is better (if he wants to go back to left-wing/striker). work on whatever he can work on, 1v1, shooting/finishing, killer pass, etc.[/quote]
