[quote=Anonymous]Your son will be fine. My son started at age 8 straight out of rec. A number of kids joined the following year and I assume most came directly from rec. My son did not have crazy skills but he was better than the average player on his rec team. He moved because he wanted to spend more time on soccer and the kids on his school MSI team just goofed off at practices. The above poster who suggested willingness to play keeper helps is wrong. At older ages it’s a definite plus but not at u10. First, at that age they don’t have keeper specific tryouts. Second the position is more difficult than it looks so unless he’s done position specific training or played it a lot this past year, it’s unlikely he’s going to wow the coach. All players are evaluated on field skills at tryouts until I think u12. Once the season starts, the coach will have kids rotate through the goal to find those with an affinity for it.[/quote]
