My lad plays for an under 14 team. I have helped with coaching from time to time but am happy to just run the line these days. One of the dad's took over as coach this season and he hates it. He just finds it a lot of work and a bit of a hassle. Without him the team would probably fold and 19/29 lads wouldn't have a team to play for.

It's a real shame that so many clubs were infiltrated with unsavoury coaches. Without decent men and women giving up their time youth football would disappear.
