The weekend saw @NewtownAFC host brilliantly the FAW National Academi Festival.
A fantastic two day event with great quality on display.
Many thanks to all participating clubs, parents and players for attending.
@NickEvaBuild@johnmactravels@NewtownAFC encourage it (at the right time and in the right place) I think the pressure on players and managers at the very top level is actually what suppresses the entertainment.
@NickEvaBuild@johnmactravels I assume you're referring to the Elite level academies (Cat 1 / Cat 2) and not the academy of @NewtownAFC or at least I hope so anyways.
I would however like to go on record and disagree with you as I dont think we coach the flair out of players and in fact I personally actively
Any club with a free week this Saturday 31st we are looking for a friendly - We can host the game and cover official costs

@AstonTaylor20@mattdanaher@Don_K_Williams Yes maybe so, I'm not sure there is a perfect answer and the thread is based purely on an idea. My personal opinion is something like mentioned above could have positive impacts on player development and encourage 'some' players to think before they just kick
@AndyHardey@mattdanaher Teams out of possession may decide to avoid pressing and working on 1v1 defensive techniques and just create an extremely low block to stop entries into their box
@AndyHardey@mattdanaher Quite possibly it would impact on decision making but it could be a positive in possession as would stop players occasionally just kicking as hard as possible and hoping so that is a positive in possession. Out of possession however could have a negative impact on decision making
