[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think Arlington makes kids start to specialize around age 12 - a friend's son got an offer for his ASA team but it was dependent on him committing to the goalie slot.  He had hoped to stay a field player.

Bright side of goalie - I imagine there are fewer kids who really want to play that position, so there might be more demand for him.  A friend of mine got a scholarship to a D1 school for goal-tending.  [/quote]

Yes!  I imagine that being goalie may provide more opportunities and may be less competitive [/quote]

I know a lot of dads that volunteer their kid for goalie just so they get a spot on an "A Team" in the area.  At the younger ages, goalies aren't competitive.  A team will like 2-3 players that will like going into the goal.

Some of these kids never would have made a higher team based on their skills as field player alone.

It's crafty, but I am not one who thinks 'A' team means anything in the lower years or will buy training from a Coach because I think it will help chances.  I just want my kids to develop as players---I don't give two sh*ts about teams/leagues under 12/13.
