Junior Football trials: Is your child happy?

Pick me, Pick me

Well did they pick you?

So your child had a trial at the start of the season.



Was it over four weeks? Maybe just one game or maybe you had a set of skills task to undertake.

Maybe your club went on memory from last year.

Was the outcome satisfactory?

A friend of mine saw his child Under 12 meet four times in February.

Teams were sorted into two A teams and two B sides.

One of the A team is getting beat every week. Not a goal to their name.

Meanwhile some of the A team players have never played before, while B team players are clearly better. His words not mine.

Some clubs in town have clearly sorted things well.

How does your club select its playing squads?

Are you happy?

Tell us what works what doesn't.

Clearly having a team where players are playing at the wrong level and teams are getting beat every week without the threat of a goal is not good for the kids, or their development.

Let us know what is working or not out their in junior football land.
