Re: Good Coaching Bad Coaching
If a coach is well planned ahead and delivers their sessions as programmed the kids will soak it up like sponges. The kids will pass when they feel they should pass they will go 1v1 when they want and sometimes make plenty of mistakes also which you want as they will never truely learn without mista...

Re: Let kids practise losing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I love how much my 9 year old loves his football and his dedication and attention towards his skills training. What I love more is when I see him after I come home from work and he is on the enclosed trampoline flinging his body around, punching the air, doing spin kicks, making sound effects while ...

Re: volunteers.... the good, the bad and the ugly.
There are some great volunteers and parent helpers out there and usually it is them time and time again helping, setting up and refereeing. What really gets me annoyed though is out of the ones that never help & never referee (and as you said some believe it's the clubs problem) if that is there...

Re: St Pauls Old Scholars Soccer Club
I remember playing for the year 12 first team as I had come from another school and said I can't play due to club commitments.

Pretty much 1 min before half time break he cut in from the left sideline and let a screamer go. He took us to half time 3-1 up and we know what a...

Re: Can Fulham pull off a miracle escape?
Though football is a funny game with twists and turns.. Reality suggests Pontians to lose against Downs & Gardens.
Downs did have a lot on the line and drew to Fulham the bottom side so Pontians always a chance for 3 points against Downs. Dont see Gardens dropping points.

Re: FULHAM RECEIVE $400,000 GRANT
Serious question and not an attack- as you don't have men's first team reserves etc.
What is the pathway for those kids now and in the future that get to that age where they are ready to move onto men's FFSA?

Re: Wenger chasing Spanish Superstar
To me Suarez is using Arsenal to force Real Madrid's hand as he wants CL for the whole comp for next years World Cup prep. He would be gambling with Arsenal as they still have to qualify. Could be wrong but who knows we all speculate. If and if Suarez signs for Arsenal you will probably miss him for...

Re: Goals vs stats (possession%)
Playing out from the back with possession creates confident skilful players at an early age. They hate it at first but persist and they grow in confidence. Playing out from the back with posession helps in kids learning to play out wide using the width without them really understanding the whole tac...

Re: Why no media circus bandwagons here.
Think the agenda towards Suarez is bordering on reverse
racism for the sake of a media beat up against him.
Match against Mansfield he clearly pulls his arm away
And slumps his shoulders when kicking the ball
into the net as if it was going to be disallowed.
