Message: [QUOTE="Forza Azzurri, post: 3938509, member: 1452"] Nobody has any idea what position an eight-year old is most suited for. If your son is being pigeon-holed/being allowed to pigeon-hole himself to a single position at age eight, it is time to find a new team. Kids should be exposed to, and should play, all positions through at least U11 or U12. My one piece of advice, in terms of what to work on (and, to be clear 8 is probably too young to start doing this) is developing the weaker foot ( much like developing the off-hand in hoops). That is the one area I really focused on with my son. His left is now probably 95% of his right and, as a result, he is really hard to deal with as, if a defender shades him one way, he simply goes the other. [/QUOTE]
