[quote=Anonymous][quote]What age does all of this start (boys specifically) ? Because when you look online at youth sites, they all say put your worse players in wing or defender, which gives the defender position a bad name, or seems to be looked down upon. Really? I have seen a lot of recommendations to play them at wing, but not defense. Defense may be an ok place to put a player who is flawed in terms of speed, but not a bad player. A defender that doesn’t need speed...hmmmmmm. You people are interesting.[/quote] Oh Jesus, of course some jerk has to post and put on airs. The best defenders of course have speed. But, when you are putting together a team of U13 or U14 kids, sometimes you don't get a 100 percent crop of the top athletes. Our two defenders are slower compared to our wings and midfielders, but they are both big, aggressive kids, so it works out fine. I am sure they do their job better than my son, who is only 80 lbs at 13 years old, could.[/quote]
