[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We are still in 9U lax. My son is really young for his select team. It’s by grade and the average player is 12-24 months older so I thought this might be a good opportunity to get decent playing time on a very strong team of kids who mostly want to play M or A. They just did a team survey and almost every child selected attack of midfield for their position. My child has always been 95 percentile in H/W and doesn’t mind defense. Right now he’s not particularly big due to the age gap but as it narrows I would think he might be. Any tips for developing a youth player’s defense to increase playing time? Hes a strong player but with the age gap he’s always going to be against stiff competition for A. He tends to play M now. [/quote] Focus on good body position (wide base, low seat, between man and goal) and getting ground balls. That's 90% of it at 9 years old.[/quote]
