[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]a slower, bigger kid usually[/quote] Maybe until U10 but after that a defender must be: 1. As quick as the offensive wings (think Safety to Wide Receiver in football) 2. Able to read the field and flow of the game 3. Smart enough not to foul but prevent offense 4. Able to never take credit for a win but always take blame for a loss 5. Not get frustrated for being scored on. Must have a stable temperament during the game no matter what happens. 6. Not afraid of physical contact 7. Technically solid, meaning does not lose the ball, and makes accurate passes Losing the ball as a defender has a much bigger impact than losing the ball as a forward or mid-fielder because it means a lost game.[/quote]
