@wadhurstutdfc @SussexCountyFA @SussexCountyFA this is a really poor showing. At a time when the game is crying out for officials. Support and guidance is what should have been offered, not a 40 day ban. Shame on you.

NEEDS RAISING.
An awful decision from the @SussexCountyFA to Ban our player of 17 years old for 6 weeks from Playing or Refereeing due to failing to submit a Red card given in a juniors game. 6 WEEKS!
And they wonder why there is such a lack of referees in Grassroots football!

@ProAcademyDrill I get U11s to play an arrival game. 1v1, 1v2 2v2 and so on. Normally use mini goals. Switch up size and shape of pitch, increase the number of goals or have end zones. Let's the boys warm up whilst have fun, without any restrictions very minimal coaching at this point as well

First 5 mins of a session set the tone.
Do you go:
🔥 Intensity
⚽ Fun
🎯 Structure / technique
What’s your go-to opener? 👇

@FPLFamily It's madness, much wrong with this team and how they play. So many times we would be 15 yards from goal and want to play the extra pass so predictable everytime. Salah picking up where he left off, tackled every time he had the ball...absent on the pitch.

Messing about with it for 5 minutes rather than putting it out so the Gomez sub could be made
Utter PANIC every time a set piece or throw in enters the box
Subbing off Frimpong rather than Salah
Get this season in the bin 🚮 #LFC

@nathanevans94 @officialbantams @bantamsbanter @TheWidthofaPost @JamieRaynor @ParkerTandA What I would do for that barnet back 💂🏽♂️

@mana_rugby TBF, they are losing their minds because normally tackling in the NFL is non existent. It's essentially throwing your body at someone's legs or a weak as fuck hold/grasp allows the runner to get away.

Americans losing their mind over a normal rugby tackle.

@ben_andreos @CoachesVoice @CoachingManual @touchtightcoach @CoachingFamily @SundayShare10 @Leecosgrove10 @RossFlintoft @SSPlanner @SessionShareNet @ExchangeCoaches A lot different from mine, only 5 boys. Wet/windy soggy pitch. Worked on simple passing/receiving on back foot ended with a 3v2 game. But lots of fun had by all.

@coach_kevin_m One of the main reasons I'm on Social media really. Good to bounce ideas, get help with a situation or just to have a little moan! (Need to stick with the grumpy old man image!)
English

@frog_7210 Yeah, I agree, and I'm seeing that (peer assistance) via my community.
Everyone is supporting each other as we all face common challenges.
Coaches helping coaches is a powerful thing

New coach journey:
- Parent volunteers "just a few hours a week"
- Sent on a Level 1 course (often online)
- Returns as "fully qualified"
- Given health & safety docs (not development frameworks)
- Expected to coach kids immediately
Then some of us criticise them.
Directly or indirectly.
Make it make sense.

@Coach_Temisan Whilst I do agree with you. Online cannot replace in person learning. Due to the cost of UEFA C it can be almost unattainable for a lot of people. Even with discounts you're still looking about £3-400 quid.
English

@zoglug @SundayShare10 I would say, if this is the process you have been using all season I wouldn't change it now. Parents and players have bought in to what you have been doing, so why change it for one game.
English

Cup Final day for my U9's! Its a great occasion but adds additional pressure because of a £5 plastic cup!
Question to the @SundayShare10 community...would you stick to your principles of equal game time (if it means you may lose) or provide more game time to stronger players?

@frog_7210 Seems the Para Reg beret/badge was gifted to her after completing her SOE parachute training course. I am not aware of any other SOE agent with one. Gemmeke is shown wearing her FANY uniform but with said beret rather than a FANY cap or peaked cap like those pictured below.
