Location : The Ahole TXsoccer deserves, but not the one it needs right now. So they will hate me. Because I can take it. Because I'm not their hero. I'm a silent guardian, a watchful protector. A dark knight

The position requires great timing, little margin for error, maturity in decision making and a great first touch. In soccer around the world, more captains come from defensive positions than anywhere else on the field. I see no problem in rotating players in positions for development purposes but many kids have an affinity for defense as much as some do for offense. If some NTX parents had their way, 11v11 would comprise of a gk and 10 forwards.
U-14 and younger the defenders are the players with parents least likely to leave a team due to position. If your DD is one of these, focus their training on how to build and/or lead an attack from behind. If their coach, or teammates, insists a defender's job is to "CLEAR!!", leave the team TODAY. A youth coach's job is to develop field players. Your DD will be at an advantage on the back line with the ability to see every play develop and become very tactically aware and skilled at not panicking under pressure. Keep your 5'2" CB finishing skills fresh and she'll be a valuable commodity come recruiting time. In fact, if she is 5'2" and playing at a high level, it'll say more about her game then it would if she is 6'1"
