Player positions
I am coaching 9u 5v5, and no one wants to play QB. They all want to be wide receiver and running back. I held a "tryout" for each position, and 3 of the kids who tried out for QB could really throw the ball. When I named one of them starting QB, they told me they didn't want the spot, and then the others said they didn't want the spot either. I asked them why they tried out, and they said it looked fun, but they didn't want to be QB. Should I tell them they won't get much playing time if they choose another position? Should I make one of them play QB even if they don't want it? I've only coached a few sessions, so maybe it's common, but I've never had anyone not want to be QB. I have very simple plays, so I don't put a lot on their plates. I also don't take it too seriously, so I'm not a super vocal coach. Any advice would be appreciated.
I want to thank everyone for their input. I will tell the boys who can QB that they have to, but I will make sure they get to play other positions as well.
