[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I thought that the OP was the parent of a child on my son's team as it so accurately describes one of his teammates. But, it isn't, as my son is in 3rd grade. I will say that what has worked beautifully for this teammate of my son's is that now he is playing goalie for half the game--he's fabulous at goalie and I think he seems to really enjoy the role. Just one idea for you for moving forward...[/quote]

so, is it safe to say that the kid didn't really become more coachable, but because of the new position he got to what he wanted to do without looking 'out of place' at games?[/quote]

Not the PP but I would say, based on experience, that goalie CAN be a great position for ADHD kids. High adrenaline moments, and moments where you can relax - as long as you can stay focused enough to notice that the ball is moving your way.[/quote]

I would say that, yes, while the teammate that I'm describing as increased slightly in coachability over the last year or so, the goalie role seems to be a better fit for his needs and abilities. Really, it seems like a very positive thing for both him, his parents, and the needs of the team/coach. Hope it helps you. Maybe sign him up for a goalie clinic/course?[/quote]
