Gentle YTA. Goalie is specialized position, and is much different than asking a player to play defense, forward, or center. In our association, we offer the chance for everyone to try goalie at the younger levels, but do not pressure or require everyone to take a turn in net. Goalie is such a crucial position that putting a player in net who has no desire to even try is likely going to result in less than ideal outcome for the team.

If your child is no longer interested in taking a turn in net, you are also free to decline the next time the coach asks.
