Parents need to focus on whether or not their child is in the right environment to give them the best opportunity but also remember its also up to the child, is it something the child really want's to do (and love to do) and are good at or are progressing at. The teenage years are when children are exploring in many ways (and not just playing football) as they start to mould before they become an adult. Their bodies are changing, sometimes at a fast rate and they are having to deal with that so parents and coaches need to be aware of that also. Teenage years are a time of change for children in many ways and should be an exciting and fun time of their lives but they can be stressful at times also - sometimes I wish I could do my teenage years again.
100% agree. My son plays football because he loves playing football. I think he will be a decent club footballer but I have no delusions of grandeur that he's going to be a professional and play for England. The day he's not enjoying it will be the day he will stop playing (actually slight change there - he will finish the season due to learning about making commitments).
This year he's loving playing for his new coach and enjoying his football more than ever. Long may that continue because I also enjoy watching him play. In fact most weekends we spend almost all our time and one of our football clubs.

great start to the season
No doubt the FFSA are praying for 36 degrees because it makes their job easier cancelling all games. If its 34 then they will have a head shiraz trying to workout which games to be played and which club uses which forecast.

Oh well, still 34 degrees on Sunday. Most teams will have to wait another week before they can play.

by the look of it some games were played today!!!! I thought that if (going by other posts) the FFSA say it's postponed due to the forecast of 37 then all games are off but it seems that some games went ahead going by the results.

Some clubs use Noarlunga, Glenelg, Mount Barker forecasts and those 8:45 games were allowed
what about the 9.30am games? two were played....but yep Glenelg etc. So the Adelaide forecast can be discounted for a more localized one from what is being stated. Interesting.
