Are 7, 8, 9 year olds goalkeepers?
Thought this would make for a good debate after reading an article earlier. I've attached a screen grab of what was being said. My experience was a 5/6 year old coming to me and saying she wants to be a goalkeeper, not play football what she actually said is I want to be a goalkeeper and I want to play for England (aim high I guess). I now have an 8 and a half year old who is totally goalkeeping obsessed, her favourite players are goalkeepers, the posters in her room are goalkeepers, her club, academy and 1-1 stuff has all been goalkeeping. If the goalkeeping coaches isn't around and she has to train with the rest of the squad we have to hear about it all the way home. Her first grassroots club used to rotate every 10 mins regardless of whether the child wanted to go in goal or not, while I had to watch a miserable 6 year old stood up front or playing on the wing. My personal opinion is it's a specialist position and completely different to anywhere else on the field, moving between defence, midfield and attack seeing where you fit but Goalkeeping is a completely different set of skills. Obviously there are kids that will discover it older and be naturals but I always feel if you learning solid basics and good habits from a young age it will stand you in good stead moving forwards.

I thought I'd write something on Pass-backs. All part of the modern game, of course. Being the sweeper-keeper & an escape route for your defenders. My two have made me sweat over the years, with the casualness they have received the ball, stopped it, looked around (all whilst the striker is running at them, of course!) & popped it away, like nothing happened. All everyday play for them. Meanwhile, I'm having kittens just watching...! My top tips for practice would be; Being able to pass with deadly accuracy. Being able to pass with either foot. If possible, receiving the ball outside of your goal ( in-case you miss it - we've all seen the you tube videos, right?!) Announcing you're open, to whoever needs you. Use names & a simple word. We use 'home' or 'free' Those pop-up goals or marker cones are invaluable for practice, if a 2nd person isn't available. Its all about that favourite trio; Practice, practice & practice. 😎
