Seriosuly struggle to watch grassroots football at the moment. Too much instruction coming from parents that probably said they were too busy to run the team!
I'll never, ever be a fan of "everyone gets a medal". Teaches kids the wrong things! Winners get medals. Those that don't win should be encouraged to work harder.

2 months in as

chairman. Are we where we want to be, no. Have we made progress, yes!
Really keen to speak with anyone who feels they can help. We're a community club but need community support.
@GNev2
Must get Ole? I'd suggest the lack of a world class manager is the reason the desired players aren't attracted. Man utd is still man utd. 99% of players would love to play for the club. Manager (although a nice guy) is the killer factor misisng.
Hearing alot of grassroots football clubs in danger of going under. Please reach out for help if that's that's the case. Happy to jump on a zoom and highlight different grants/funding etc available to clubs right now. Kids/adults need something to return to.

Carried off pitch. Players, coaches and parents applauded him. Wonderful example of how grassroots COULD be. All about mindset.
Superb achievement. Proud to have directly scouted and brought 3 in that were on team sheet last night.

run a course for managing behaviour of their own child whilst managing teams???
Been a coach 16 year, teacher for 10 and never had an issue with behaviour. My own child frustrates the life out of me 😂
Thoughts on Grassroots clubs running "Trials"?
Personally don't understand it. If you're an academy or RTC, yes. Grassroots club playing in a grassroots league?
Tough day at the office. Massive thank you to

who left their changing room immaculate. Best of luck for the rest of the season. Lovely set of visiting directors and fans.
Government have just announced 1on1 coaching and small groups will be allowed from June 1st. We must will wait for clear guidance from FA/LFA before jumping in 2 footed. Reputation everything in football. Don't blow it.
