[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]to the Mr./Ms. Dictionary poster - what is your point? Do you think "natural defenders" have to be fast? or big? I am actually curious.[/quote] Quickness, toughness (aka grit, aka heart), speed on the outside backs, and length if in the middle, and finally a touch of meanness to strike some fear into opposing forwards. Those things are largely innate. If a kid has these tools to begin with, then give them a good coach to teach positioning and footwork and composure with the ball (cuz they can’t just defend) and you’re kid will have a spot on any team, particularly because so many kids (and their parents) want to play mid or up top.
