I do. And sometimes it's a game changer. A couple of salient points: if things are going poorly routinely, then that's a problem anyways. And then you also are creating a catch 22. You can't rotate because it's going poorly and you don't want to make things worse. And you can't when it's going well because now you have to protect the win.

[/quote] I have seen wingers and midfielders get moved to defense and it turn the game around. And I'm talking much older, like U15.

But let's remember here. We are talking U10. Are they never allowed to make mistakes, learn, try a new position? That's a little much.

Exactly.

Again development versus winning a game. Everyone would like to have both on parallel upward trajectories. 
 A choice usually has to be made. And sometimes, more often than people want to admit, the other team is simply better.

EVERY coach worth salt should be rotating players. [quote]

Within reason, I agree.  My son has played left back all season (he's U12) and does it very well.  He'd like a chance to play some of the midfield positions, and he never gets one.  The time he has been moved forward, he's been placed at striker or wing.  He's pretty ineffective at both of these positions.  That rotation was probably pointless, but I don't understand why he can never try midfield, no matter how many times he asks.
