[quote=Anonymous]Take this from a parent of multiple defenders much older than yours. I do agree that it depends on the club. Our large club did not move much during the year, only at tryouts. A coach will place any kid in a striker position and multiple positions can score. Great striker does not give him a pass to move up. Most coaches don't care about "the best defender". They want kids who can overall outplay others. Now if your son were the best midfielder, this would be a different story. Modern coaches at this age want technical kids who can defend. Focus on his technical training, footskills, ball control and comfort level with speed of dribbling. When he is able to out play your attacking centermid (even if he continues to be a defender) then you will have an argument to move up. Otherwise they will move up the team #10 or fast winger and you will stay on that team forever or leave.[/quote]
