🟡 Q & A: “My child likes playing in goal but 🟡 Q & A: “My child likes playing in goal but he’s a striker – what should I do?”⚫️

👉 Short answer: Let them try it! If you don’t enjoy what you do, you usually quit - so why not let kids explore?

Most children won’t settle into a set position until their mid-to-late teens. The Foundation Phase (ages 5–11) is the perfect time to try multiple roles - striker, defender, goalkeeper, midfield all part of the learning journey.

Yes, it can be tough to watch your child concede goals, but learning to cope with mistakes and setbacks is just as valuable as learning to win. If kids are sheltered from disappointment, one tough loss later on could hit much harder.

💡 Of course, if your child shows a real passion or talent for a specific position - whether that’s goalkeeping, defending or goal scoring - there’s nothing wrong with leaning into it earlier.

At the end of the day: throw your anxieties away and let the kids play.
