Originally posted by Unregistered View PostAgree on that - especially for the OP's aged player (middle school). Training will only get you so far.
So is it better to switch clubs for stronger GK training and hopefully a stronger team? Or stay put. Play 100% of the games. And supplement with outside training?
If he stays put he can prob play MS as well and get his field experience there.
My interest in seeking other clubs was due to the weakness of his team and worry that he won't develop as much. But playing 50% of games at a new club might be worse developmentally?

Getting better as a keeper isn't just about PT - it's also about training and who you play. 50% in a stronger situation is better than 100% in a weak one. If he wants to keep playing at least through HS he'll have to learn to deal with unequal PT and fighting for PT. Also, you could rack up hefty bills with supplemental training. Go to a better club with good GK training, better teams and competition. Anyway, that's MHO
