[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My 2nd grade DS plays rec soccer and this is the first year they play with goalies. Surprisingly to me - my kids loves playing in goal and is actually really good (maybe because he also plays basketball?) I didn't think he had the drive or skill to play travel soccer but now I'm rethinking. How does the trajectory work for goalies? Do travel teams take kids to play goalie only? How can he get more training? He's 7 by the way (a bit young for his grade). We're in Takoma Park/Silver Spring area so lower Mont Co recommendations are very welcome.[/quote] Specializing at that age is a terrible idea, even if the kid has a true passion for the position. You can always play keeper later but you can't go from keeper to field player. Let him play in goal but make sure he continues to get footwork training and field play. [/quote]
