[quote=goaliemomnova]My DS loves to play goal. He does specific goalie training for it.  The problem is his technical foot skills are digressing because his coach only ever puts him in goal during practice and scrimmages but then he plays half the game in the field during real games.  I am frustrated as last night for example he was bored and played goal the entire 60 min scrimmage when the ball was primarily on the other side of the field.  He got nothing out of it.  We had this same issues last year with his old U8 club and it's repeating itself after I had specifically told the coach I don't mind if he plays goal during games BUT I need him to develop or he'll be stuck with no footwork, etc. Any advice or how do other goalie parents feel?

We have talked to the coach before but either he's trying to develop the other kids and my son needs less work but I feel like communication is key. I told my son to not play goal this weekend in games and to say I want to play in the field next week during practice but it's hard as he also wants to do what the coach asks him. We have a 24 hour rule before we can talk to the coach following practice or game issues so looking for advice.  [/quote]
