The defense at our HS is all girls who either couldn't cut it at middy or attack or can't run. None of them started on Defense, they kind of just ended up there
This happens more than you think.
Parents tell their kids to switch to D to keep them on the field and on the team, most are settling because they don't have the tools, skill or speed to play mid or attack
You are clueless if you think the position of Defender doesn't require tools, skill, or speed at top end HS and the college level. Take some time and watch these women in college play. Take your daughters to watch as well. You'll be surprised at the athleticism of the women defenders.
Yup. and most played middie in HS. Sorry.
Yup, none were Attackers....no apologies necessary
