Yes another one of these but I'm just wondering at this age should I be putting kids in one position, like keeping one kid as our goalie and certain players as defenders or should I switch them all out
and I coached them last year but know we have bigger field and goalies so any other advice will be welcomed
and I'm trying to win every game forget that BS about them just having fun

Shouldnt stick a kid in goal for both halves imo. Get two keepers play half each, unless the game is out of hand then let others do it.
I would play kids all over, but mostly in their natural position. I wouldnt lock them into one spot at this age, although its obvious who is offensive and defensive minded.

On every one of my son's teams so far it was pretty evident who should play up top and who were defenders. Had no problem with the coach moving everyone around to every position. I agree with alternating a couple of kids at goalie, you will figure out who they are as well.
Remember, the most important thing you should be teaching them is slide tackles if you want to win.

Waaaayy to young to lock them into one position at this age. Move 'em around and let them play different positions. There will be plenty of time for specialization in years to come.
It's good for kids to know different positions and how they relate to one another.
And if you're looking for a good resource for coaching kids' soccer, try a site called soccerhelp.com I somehow stumbled across that when I first started coaching kids when my son was young and it was a huge help. Went from knowing pretty much nothing at all about soccer to being able to put together several years of winning teams.
