Does the Height matter when deciding to train a Youth to a GK?

By nberggren - 23-07-2018 16:31

So I just got my first batch of youth players joining my club this season, and I saw one of them is 190 cm tall, my first thought was making him into a GK because I thought better height = better reach. But he has only one ball on GK skill. Then I saw another youth that has 3 balls on the GK skill, but he is only 169 cm. Which one would you say is best to train as a GK? Or should I train them both as one and see which one develops best? Thank for your advice :)So I just got my first batch of youth players joining my club this season, and I saw one of them is 190 cm tall, my first thought was making him into a GK because I thought better height = better reach.

No. Height and weight doesn't matter! To determine youth players position I recommand sending them to Youth Training Camp! It will give you three skills by those skills you can determine their position. Which skills could be given by position you can see here: https://mzlive.eu/calculator/No. Height and weight doesn't matter!
