Hey im 14, 105 lbs, 5'4'' . im good at short sprints but im horrible with the mile 8:25, im pretty good at corner pockets but not to good at long distance shots, my coach said i was good at taking hits during game and he said i should play attack..what do you think?

Sounds like that would be the easiest for you, although you still need to be fast for attack, but do you want it easy? You can always improve on the other things if you want to be better.

i agree, maybe try goalie

goalie?? ive had in intrest in it and ill like playin goalie for hockey but im not that big and dont have any of the gear..

You don't have to be big, just quick. And you just need the chest protector and a stick, the gloves arn't a necessity.

i believe....and this is just my opinion, that if he starts playing goalie now, it will be hard for him to improve without someone practicing on him a lot on his own time. most goalies start younger and then they have time to work up to faster shots as their teamates and opponents get better at shooting. but for him to just jump in the goal with guys that have been playing attack/middie for a while, its not the best decision.(not saying its impossible, its just not the greatest advice he will ever recieve)unless you have some natural talent for saving goals, you should go with what your coach said because he has seen your skills more than anyone posting on this thread

attack no question...for attack you dont need as much endurance as middies and well i dont have any really im just extremely quick and fast which works against me because i get tired to quick when i play middie .....but i know a kid who plays attack....he was prolly smaller than u at the same age and is prolly only 5'4 110 pounds now....and ended up getting a scholarship to binghamton ( a DI school). Hes mainly a feeder who occasionaly sneeks around to score..


It work on bein an X attackman and lookin to draw men and get assist...and ur small so just be sneaky
