the goalie comment off base, you guys have to realize that this is youthsports. you all have valid points regarding the game and the positions that are played. goalie in my opinion is the hardest position at this level because children tend to be mean. telling the goalie how bad he is after he lets in a few goals. the other players shud be taught good sportsmanship and teamwork or the coach should try and get the namecallers in the net. encourage not discourage
BOTC read the original post containing the word "awful" as a reference to the composition of the team rather than the players themselves. On re-reading the post and the subsequent comments, we probably had the wrong interpretation. That said, apologies to the team, players, and families for allowing the references to make the board. Now, from here forward, the topic is off limits.
As we said earlier, nothing cures the grousing faster than a quick change of positions between the players. Take an attackman and put him or her between the pipes and watch the action - both on the field and with the parents. For the team, it is a lesson well learned.
