[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My son is hoping to play goalie in the spring for his team. He is in 4th, an overall athletic kid with great stick skills and fast hit just really wants to play this position and begged to have the chance in the upcoming season. I mentioned to one or two moms with older kids and their response was about their own kids, said the same thing “Oh Larlo would have played but the team needed him on attack, he was too good” Once or twice ny son stepped in for a tournament when the team needed one and a parent would say “No don’t do that the team needs him to score points” … Is the general reputation for the goalie position that they are kids that aren’t as good on the field?

You are correct. Of course, there are exceptions but in general boys HS goalies come from little dudes who couldn’t handle the physicality of boys field lacrosse and girls HS goalies come from bigger, slower young girls who couldn’t handle the speed. If your kid isn’t that, they can go far as you can see from the local goalies who have gone on to play in college. [/quote]

Terrible take and not true. All of the top goalies are players that can play in the field. They do play in the field. Talk to Blaze Riorden or Scotty Roger's about that. One plays is the NLL as a field player. [/quote]

I swore I said that there are exceptions but in general. Blaze Riordan and Scotty Rogers are exceptions. Your kid is tiny. [/quote]
