[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]At U13 on top level teams there should be 1 top starting GK. The back up can be a back up / field player. But your starting GK is the quarterback per say the coach on yhe field. That role cant be alternated on a regular basis. Serious coaches understand that. Please save the argument about their kids or too young. We are taking about the serious teams not rec or B and C teams. [/quote]

Gross. What dumb coach carries 1x keeper and the other field player. One reason of course if injury and you have a non-keeper as keeper... you're dead. Second is with our club, keepers do about 75% of their practice with a pro keeper/coach. Then keepers join up with field players and they do either scrimmages or the 18-yard box game where shots are flying constantly. Your field player turned keeper with barely any training will die in real competition if they had to play and would destroy hopes of achieving high level success.  Sure, it can happen and the coach will be taking a massive risk, but with most carrying 17-20 players per team, 2x keepers is just right and doesn't hurt field player numbers.[/quote]
