[quote=Anonymous][quote]What is the position in question? I'll say as kids get older they should still be rotating positions to a certain degree to aid in development, however, certain kids will be somewhat limited to certain positions over time. For example, if your son played and liked striker, but there are now 3-4 kids that are bigger, stronger, faster, better finishers, the coach will be inclined to rotate those 3-4 kid through that position vs all players on the team.[/quote]

Thanks.  He was a midfielder and is now a defender.  He used to be a defender more often when he was younger, and did get compliments on it from coaches and parents on other teams, but it isn't the position he wants to play.

And hey, I am totally open to the idea that he messed up or is somehow lacking - I don't pretend to be the end all and super objective on my own kid's playing.  But, if that is the case, the coach should have talked to him about it.  His mid-year player eval was overall positive.  If it an issue  or problem with him, and that's fine, but he needs to know so that he can work at it.[/quote]
