At what age/league are goalkeeper stats recorded? And who does it? coach? team manager? |

I would like to open this up to not even goal keeper stats but stats in general. Do any leagues track assists?

Stats are not very useful in soccer.
The most saves: usually some kiddo on a terrible team
The most shots: some ball hog
Most corners?
Etc.

Can you fill in the blank for these just for the humorous aspect: The most Red Cards:________________ Most PK's missed:___________________ Most fouls against:___________________ The one with the loudest dad/mom:_____ Who sits the bench the longest_______ The most Headers:_______________ |

"The most saves: usually some kiddo on a terrible team"
Perhaps that would be true if the only stat that was taken was the number of saves. However, goalkeeper stats would include save percentages (shots taken and shots blocked), win/loss ratio, and goals against average. Those would give the overall capabilities of the keeper. The better keepers being on the better teams cannot be presumed. Most often, it's more likely that he/she is the tallest.
I certainly think goalkeeper stats and tracking assists would be more useful than tracking the number of goals a player scores (without also tracking the shots taken/missed). Especially when it is his/her job to score goals.

Stats are not kept very well in youth soccer. A lot of ECNL teams record goals, assists and saves, but many do not track any of it (at least publicly and officially). Once they get into high school ages and if they are on a high level team with a few players that want to play college at any level I think the team should have a knowledgable parent keep stats. If only your kid wants to play then you, as the parent of that child, should keep their stats.
DA only tracks goals and cards on their public page. They should track goals, assists and goals allowed/saves at a minimum.
If I were a team statistician I would track all of the above along with shots and shots on goal like colleges do.

Only stat I've seen kept was possession. One parent had an app that made it easy to track and they would send it to the coach at half time and full time.

I keep my kid's scoring/assist stats. If nothing else, for her college recruiting profile. Its unofficial but accurate. I think DA and Super-Y are the only leagues I've seen that collect player scoring stats because they keep a tally of the scoring leaders. Which I think is pretty cool.
GK stats you'll probably have to keep on your own. The good news is that they're easy to film.

Not really. i know when kids get older (college) stats are very important. goals against avg. is the main one. clean sheets is another.
