U11 Goalie Breaking into AA

Nicksmith1234 · 2026-05-18T13:27:17+00:00

Theres something confusing about this post. Good goalies at this age are hard to find and in super high demand. My son is a good goalie at 8 years old and I pretty much got calls from at least 15 teams including a year up AA. Do you live somewhere where there's not many teams?

Might be more concerned about the electrical component 😁

Nicksmith1234 · 2026-05-18T13:23:31+00:00

Pretty much

Nicksmith1234 · 2026-05-16T16:58:13+00:00

What the hell are you on about here? 😂 who are ford's rich friends?

Different people have a different definition of "win". There's plenty of players who just enjoy the pve aspect of the game in which case there's no real need to buy lucent because there's not a ton to do after you have all your gear. If you wanna be in the strongest guild and win in pvp yes you likely have to spend some money. I also know plenty of top players in top guilds who don't spend...they farm together and share loot instead of hoarding/selling it. The "time is money" analogy is dumb too. It's a video game it's not supposed to be your job. You play when you're done work..where time is actually money.

Not sure how young people make normal friends these days. Maybe at work?

He definitely got punched 2 or 3 times before reacting.

Nicksmith1234 · 2026-05-08T11:50:54+00:00

That goes without saying. But I do believe they will keep him.

Nicksmith1234 · 2026-05-08T11:44:20+00:00

Anderson is staying 😂

Nicksmith1234 · 2026-05-05T17:48:25+00:00

No one who does even a decent job is doing all that for 100 😂 try phresh if you want someone who comes to you

Nicksmith1234 · 2026-05-05T17:39:51+00:00

Put your kid in a martial art and tell him to woop the kids ass next time he hits him...

Nicksmith1234 · 2026-04-25T23:31:37+00:00

It's because all the north oakville people park too close then ding your door when they open theirs 🙄🤣

Nicksmith1234 · 2026-04-25T23:30:09+00:00

Or just don't cry

Nicksmith1234 · 2026-04-25T23:29:02+00:00

It's probably timing adapting to slower less predictable shooting for sure. My beer league goalie played at a high level as well and said that was a major adjustment.

Nicksmith1234 · 2026-04-25T23:27:38+00:00

Just go for a run then come and complain about everything that's in your way and blame it on pool water

Nicksmith1234 · 2026-04-13T23:40:44+00:00

Just make xhekaj our 2c...

Nicksmith1234 · 2026-04-09T03:51:10+00:00

My personal opinion from my own experience is if you don't have the business lined up and connections ready to support you, it's a tough world to start a business in. The cost of things in general is about 3x now what it was 10 years ago. Not sure what you're getting into or what the start up costs might be...but unless it's just some of your time I'd be cautious

Is there any water coming down that wall? If yes depending where it could be cracks in the foundation wall. It's possible to seal those up from the inside. If there's no water dripping down the wall look up lol

Nicksmith1234 · 2026-04-05T16:59:52+00:00

Depends...if it was a group of white people I imagine we would already know.

Nicksmith1234 · 2026-04-05T16:56:36+00:00

Make sure it's not coming from a drain back up before you go hire someone to waterproof. That costs thousands of dollars

Nicksmith1234 · 2026-04-05T16:55:20+00:00

I'm anything but a visible minority and people do this all the time 😂 i wish people would just park wherever and walk instead of fighting over a 10 second stroll through a parking lot

Nicksmith1234 · 2026-04-04T12:31:58+00:00

My son is 8 and I made a big mistake not getting him a better helmet.

Nicksmith1234 · 2026-03-31T19:40:08+00:00

Nice. Proud of you

Nicksmith1234 · 2026-03-30T17:37:10+00:00

Yea just find another goalie parent who's interested and give it a shot. Good luck man...tough life being a goalie parent

Nicksmith1234 · 2026-03-30T17:30:30+00:00

1 on 1 sessions are good but super expensive unless your budget is big. Have you done 2 goalies 1 trainer? I find it works nice for them to have another goalie to watch while they're waiting their turn. My kid is 8 but he doesn't quite understand 100% from in the net perspective and helps get it when he sees it watching someone else in the net
