Quote: its easier to put a less skilled player on defense and teach them the ropes,this allows the coach to move a more skilled player up to concentrate on scoring.Alot of the freshman are club player that start out on defense,but move up to a different position as a soph.Then another fresh. will hopefully step into a starting defense position.At least thats how it works for our h.s. program.Plus everybody knows you dont get any respect when you play defense!!They do the dirty work and usually dont get the credit!!
I guess that's one way to do it. Our program puts skilled players on defense and moves them into scoring positions by teaching them to attack out of the back.
I know several players in the list who play multiple positions during the course of a game depending on where they may be needed at the time especially those who play on teams with less depth. So, some players listed as forward or midfielder may spend nearly as much time during the year as defenders. However, you don't seem to see the F/D or M/D in the All State lists.
