I’m 100% behind all kids in SAP do the same training drills etc, but if the team is just going to play them in goal, what’s the point? If you want them to play in goal all the time train them for it. You say the kids are doing outside additional goalkeeper training - so, the parents are essentially paying double. Their kid has to play in goal every week, but the club don’t train them specifically. It just doesn’t make sense.
