Having written on a couple of other blogs over the past year or so I decided that the rich tapestry of the juvenile football world and my adventures within it might prove entertaining for a few folk who had nothing better to read.

I have been coaching a boys football team since Under 9’s level. The lads will be playing at U11’s when the new season gets under way in September. They are a great bunch who are full of character and should provide plenty of material for this blog.

The other elements that will no doubt feature will relate to coaching (in-service days, courses, qualifications) and the day to day running of a reasonable sized juvenile football club.

I will try to keep the posts lighthearted, entertaining, end to end stuff, and try and avoid it turning into a boring midfield tussle.
