• Our Best Performance, Call Offs & Guests
    Nov 23 2024

    So this week is a short and sweet episode. I take a look back on 2 weeks of football.

    I talk about our best performance of the my time coaching so far and how my boys played some great football.

    It's that time of year again. When is the right time to call a game or session off?

    Guests! I'm looking for guests to come and join me. The call is now out. I'm looking for coaches who are new to grassroots coaching and share their thoughts and experiences in the wolrd of youth football.

    Please get in touch and tell me and the world your story
