[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's reasonable, we had/have a lot of drama on our team  (soccer) around who plays center back. It is incredibly critical but most kids (including mine!) hate it. If you told us he'd be 
in that spot next season we would have walked. [/quote]

Why do kids hate it?[/quote]

They want to score goals.
If you make a mistake as a forward or mid, the backs are there to cover for you and no one criticizes. But when you make a great play. everyone cheers. The defenders are criticized for every mistake but no one gets excited when they do their job well.[/quote]

Exactly, this was 11v11 and we played 4-3-3 with the left and right backs as wing backs (and thus part of the offense). When we played well the CB's would sit near the mid line most the game with occasional bursts of terror when a long ball or sprinter went past them. Every mistake they made that led to a goal is super obvious whereas our offense never scored and no one said anything as they missed open goals time after time.

Most kids want to be involved in the play at least, even if they aren't scoring. It's also seen as where less skilled but bigger but still athletic kids play. [/quote]

I played CB and enjoyed the position because you had to be crazy fast and physical to break up the long ball plays. They shouldn't be feeling terror though, it should be more of an enforcer or bird of prey mindset where you swoop in and crush any incursion on your end of the field. But as for mistakes, the CB and goalie are the ones who pay for their team's crappy offense. I remember the defenders being in top cardio condition when we had losing seasons 😆[/quote]
