At a young age I’d rather my son just enjoy himself , he played his first season getting knocked down every game by his ‘coaches’ because he didn’t fit in with their little click . He’s just going into a new season with a newly formed team , played 1 friendly and 1 tournament together pre season and won which brought his confidence up massively especially winning the tournament on penalties , opponent coaches and parent commenting on how well he plays as a young keeper . With scouts watching and all I could think was please not today every time they was watching him. I want him to enjoy it before having an academy on his shoulders and of course I will always give him the choice it will never be forced on him .
