[quote=Anonymous]It took my DS until U11 (U14 now) to really get the emotional control part of playing goal in place. I will say that the best thing we ever did was be part of teams that had two keepers and rotated them both in the field and goal through U12s. Not only did it build my son's ball skills (immensely helpful in many respects) but it also gave him an outlet to help with the emotional part of the position when he was younger. The worst feeling (as a player and parent) is making a mistake in goal as a U-Little and having to stay there the rest of the game. Being able to play in the field gave my son an outlet to start fresh and enjoy the game. And yes, as a GK-parent, PKs and dead ball plays are the absolute worst to watch from the sidelines.[/quote]
