Pieces mainly about goalkeepers · 2 stories
Stories that name no age are only under all ages. A story for U8 to U12 is in both of those bands.
A U12 coach blames losses on a keeper who cannot stop shots, and most replies push back: the team, not one 12 year old, loses games, and the keeper is still learning. They advise rotating him into the field and teaching positioning during scrimmages.
A parent says two coaches shout directions at their U9 keeper on every goal kick, and her roll out has got sloppy. Most replies agree in-game directions should be limited to questions and praise, and suggest talking to the coaches; one says a parent-coached travel team is a red flag.
