[quote=Anonymous]I’m not sure that is as big a problem as you may think, other than getting beaten all the time is demoralizing, and could have negative consequences.

BUT, you really are better off having every kid on the field able to play every position (except keeper, obviously).  For context, I have one child who is an “up top” player, and currently plays on a U16 GA team (formerly DA).  She’s been playing either wing or 9 for most of her life, and right now, it really holds her back when she needs to overlap and fill in for a midfielder. I now regret not pushing her /getting her to push her coaches to play her in the middle more when she was younger.

If you read Cryuff and the whole concept of “Total Soccer”, then you should actually be happy that kids on the team are learning how to play with the ball at their feet regardless of where they are in the field.

Obviously, if that comes at the expense of ever winning a game or even scoring a goal, then the coach probably needs to figure out some new tricks, because they will lose the team emotionally.[/quote]
