[quote=Anonymous]I'm the mom of the U8 boy who posted a few pages ago.  Now that we're two games into the season, I have another question in an attempt to not be "that mom"
(I have a minivan and I'm turning into a soccer mom.  Woe is me. ;-)
Anyway, at DS's level, the kids all basically play equal time, which is great.  In both games, DS has played a little more than half the time.  Of that, only in about 25% of the first game did he play offense.  The whole rest of the time he's been at defense.  He's disappointed (because he's a little kid and wants a chance to score some goals!)  but he's done a great job.

At this age, though, I was assuming that they're still young enough that they should all be rotating through the positions.  Ds still needs a chance to develop skills at all areas, right?

So, am I off base?  Is it appropriate to ask the coach if DS can rotate through a few different positions?  Can I tell him that DS doesn't want to commit to only playing defense?  How best to approach it (if at all) with the coach?

Thanks![/quote]
