In many ways aren’t they trying to be the big fish at that level, like the Premier league boys are at the top end? I can only go on what I've seen and he's loving it there.

Last year's u7's (parents and coaches) were up there with the worst I'd ever experienced. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen other examples at different age groups. While I'm sure there are decent teams within that club, most I've come across (as have others) pretty much say the same thing.

I just remember on kid being dragged off by one of the coaches, with swearing at said kid. Bit harsh on a u7. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bit harsh on a u7. They recruited my lad, covid hit so he barely played, then bombed him out after one season in which he never really had a chance. Plus, one coach lied about me allegedly touting my lad elsewhere, which was categorically untrue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some awesome other folks about though and hope it didn't put your lad off playing. I really miss the camaraderie of English grassroots. When you find a good bunch, nothing finer. Australian is very different. In a good way and bad way sometimes, if that makes sense. Edited June 1, 2022 by Maddogbob 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
