[quote=Anonymous]Experienced this for my child. There are some positives to learn from goalie that makes you a better field player but you have to enjoy the position and want to do well.

Child liked playing goalie but didn't want to do it all game as young player. Typically played field first half and then closed game as the No. 1 option. There were times in middle school, the child was forced to play the whole game and soccer got boring because of the lack of touches. Tried to explain that you get more involved in game as it gets more complex, but ended up to sitting out one fall and playing another sport. Child returned to play and eventually specialized in goal and will play in college this fall.

Agree with all the points about training. It's a totally different position and club didn't offer much until high school years. Even then it wasn't enough. Finally got a keeper coach that worked on the technical side that was lacking. Once you see how hand placement and positioning is supposed to work, you see how untrained even good goalies are because they rely on athleticism. If you want a rec happy to provide.[/quote]
