Hey coach Damon. I recently dmed you on instagram about making the switch to cage. I use to play in the goal but then moved out of the cage. I loved every second I got to be a goalie. Since moving Iβve made a regional level club team which is the lowest level of club. I went to a club tryout and I saw what a team was looking for in a goalie and I know I can stop shots and communication. Do you think I should switch and if you can, can you make a video about this. Thank you!!
