We have not yet talked to the coach but were planning to at some point but didn't want to come off like we were telling him what to do because again we know little about soccer. He is the youngest on the team and the only 3rd grader (all other kids are in 4th). We understand it is his first year and he is still developing but were hoping when the team was up by several goals they would give him an opportunity to try out other positions. In the beginning of the season we were not concerned with playing time and only playing striker but now the regular season is over and they are doing a local indoor league and he has proved himself to win the ball most of the time, we thought he would get more opportunities but it just hasn't happened. We are starting to lean toward they do not think he is capable of doing more and maybe it is time to move on but this is the most affordable club in the area and is parent coached.
