Question & Debate for us all
My son currently plays for two teams: one on Saturdays and one on Sundays. His Saturday team has impressively progressed from level 8 to level 2 in their first season. However, the overall standard of the team is still below my son Jacob’s level. In contrast, his Sunday team has consistently competed at level 1 and is of a very high standard. With me being a professional scout and my sons manger on Saturday & Coach Sunday My concern is whether playing for two teams with such different levels of ability could affect his development and performance. Specifically, could it impact things like clean sheets, attitude, overall performance, or confidence due to the differing quality of the players around him? I’d really appreciate insights from other goalkeeper parents or coaches.
