This is why I don't sign my son with ADHD up for team sports. Once when he was in kindergarten, he was a soccer goalie and took his attention off of the ball for a second- the other team scored. Another parent became extremely upset because kindergarten rec soccer is so important that he thought it was appropriate to begin criticizing a six year old in front of his mom all of the other parents.

Goalie is the most difficult spot. bless them all.

What league has goalies in kindergarten? The ones we've participated in don't start goalies until third grade. [/quote]

I was thinking the same thing.  OP, it may be that whatever league your child was in was not developmentally appropriate.[/quote]

He was a goal keeper for that game- I shouldn’t have said goalie. We decided soccer wasn’t right for him because he processes slowly and has attention problems, but also, from the other side of this, the parents seemed like they would have no patience for struggling kids if it disappointed or inconvenienced their child in any way. It goes both ways.

You can totally say 'goalie'.  I just meant that there are technically 'no positions' and there definitely is not allowed a goalie/goalkeeper in Kindergarten soccer.  [/quote]
