[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would also add that if your son wants to specialize in goalie, he might be able to jump ahead a little further than if he was just a regular field player. To play in the field you need a whole lot of different skills and a lot of experience with training, but to be goalkeeper you just need some goalkeeper training basics to get started. Teams are always looking for goalkeepers and if he's decent and has the athleticism, you can definitely find a team. If he does want to go in that direction Bethesda might be a good option because then the club provides goalkeeper training. MSI might but I don't know.[/quote]

Please don’t have your kid specialize at age 10. [/quote]

+1.  Have him get on a rec club and he should play all positions at that age if the club is smart.  When it comes to Keeper, there will be kids who'll refuse to play keeper and your DS will get to play there more.  It's critical as a budding keeper he plays the field at this age and for a couple years.  Eventually the team will play back to the keeper and having some semblance of foot skills will make him much, much better all-around.  There should be no specializing at this age to be the best teen player possible.[/quote]
