Am I missing something. I've been at a few under 8s game recently, to say I'm shocked to see coaches giving out over minor things like who's ball it is. Absolutely baffles me. Is it not about the kids enjoying playing football and improving. 🙈🙈🙈🙈

I love playing football but today I fell out of love with football a little bit. To be taken off a pitch because a manager thinks I'm the easy option because I'm the eldest player in the team over how I'm playing makes me lose love with football. 💔💔💔

Under 13 LOI games = elite, play ahead. Adult LSL = sorry lads not today. Other U13 leagues = sorry lads not you either. Again, I’m delighted that kids are getting to play football , it’s great for their health and well-being. But who’s deciding who is and is not ‘elite’ ?
