@Teamgrassroots_ I know the feeling. Parents not responding to matches and training is the must frustrating. It isn't hard.....

[Ricky Byam @RickyByam]

Spurs are a shambles, embarrassing. Needs change ASAP..... I'm genuinely concerned about our premier league status. Joke of a club
LEVY OUT

Grassroots coaching, Whats in it for me??

Long days: I have a day job as well as coach the team, and spend my weekends at games.

Late nights: sorting the team,talking to the opposition, looking at formations.

Sorting Equipment: spending hours cleaning, preparing and designing training drills and trying to keep the team interested.

Meetings: attending relentless meetings about the team,club and all background things no one sees.

Talking to parents/players: messaging 2/3 times a week to make sure there is a team and enough players to turn up on time.

Coaching: when its not going the teams way and 11 faces on the pitch all look to you the change what is happening on the pitch.

Well Whats in it for me is this...

Snide comments from parents who cant think you cant hear.

The looks from the stands when you make a sub that no one agrees with.

The look on the players deflated faces knowing that no matter how much your hurting you have to smile and keep them going.

The hours and days spent going over the game and every decision you made in your head, thinking was it right, could it have been better, could you have said more at half time.

The stress and worry on a weekly basis about the team and what is best to do, with formations and players positions.

The constant thought that at any time another coach will come along and pick out the players for there team and poach them for the next season with promises of trophies, more game time and 'i don't make silly subs'.

So remember We are Volunteers and do this for the enjoyment of the players and in our own spare time, We do it for the love of the game and to just maybe get the players out of the house if only for a few hours a week.
So next time you want to moan or criticise, we don't get paid, we get hardly any thanks and we stepped up when so many others stood with their hands in their pockets saying 'no thanks'

@Teamgrassroots_ Such a shame. Parents can be hard work

[Lea @Lea_EFC]

ITV are prepared to let Clive Tyldesley go but keep Eni Aluko.

Make it make sense.

I demand my TV licence money be returned.

Amazing night watching the classy @ChrisHelme & @dodgy_nigel

@Teamgrassroots_ This is put on the Coaches to much. The parents need to find a team to match the child's ability.

#Shoutout to all those out last night or early this morning conducting pitch inspections. They know everyone is waiting for their updates, please remember it’s not always an exact science and decisions are made based on the information known at the time and expected forecasts. They know everyone wants to play but they need to make sure the players are safe, the conditions are safe and the pitch isn’t ruined for the longer term. We keep our fingers crossed for everyone and thank the pitch inspectors for the job they do. 👌

@Teamgrassroots_ The exact same happened to me and my knees two years apart 😱
