[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Goaltending is a different sport from the rest of the field.

Sure in low level rec play, where the scores don't matter at all, put the fat slow kid in goal. [/quote]

He’s not fat or slow. He’s tall, lean and a fast kid. [/quote]

The trend for college is getting smaller quicker athletic goalies. At the youth level goalies should also play another position. You should allow your son to try it. [/quote]

He’s probably not going to be a small kid. His adult height is supposed to be around 6’1 if he stays on his curve and muscular. Do they tend to be heavier kids or smaller kids at the HS level? [/quote]

Goalies do well tall or shorter but need quickness and agility. They also need to be able to run when they leave the crease. Good goalies are typically good athletes. Many play other sports[/quote]

Thank you. It sounds like some of the other parents are a little misinformed. I felt like it was a little rude to say something like that, especially the mom saying they need her son for attack. He plays multiple sports. If anything I think it will be more challenging for him and require more mental toughness dealing with missed shots than playing midfield or attack where you’re using to scoring and being a hero.
