[quote=Anonymous]If you really care, there is a pretty light book on the subject called "Croatian Football Federation Development Curriculum." I have not found too many other books on the subject, but any other suggestions are welcome. It has some good information in it if you are curious. The section on Phases of Development has a note for u-8 to U-11: "Players will rotate through several positions in order to avoid premature specialization, and that also includes the role of goalkeeper." Take that for what you will. I can see both sides of the argument, but to me, if the player only plays one position, they are getting a pretty limited view of this particular sport very early that may affect them much longer than it should. Also, most people coaching are working in a silo with limited players. So the bias toward seeing certain "talents" at that age may be more team need than individual player need. Who knows....[/quote]
