River Deep -2.50 Worc

About time he re-entered the greatest naps comp

Hi Soldier we are struggling against the other teams this season, without a win in 7 now and it is not looking good for the rest of the season as our Girls apart from 4 are minute compared to the opposition.
Seems like most teams have got about 80% / 20% in favour of 12 year olds we seem to be the opposite our ratio is about 75% 25% ratio in favour of 11 year olds and it is a age group that has a massive physical difference. (Under 13s)
I am not sure what will come first our first win of the season or my next nap winner?

All ok Shane , Kath has her 6 monthly check up next Monday (I always get a bit down and worried before that but fingers crossed)

pete I completely hear what you say and I've come across this many times. It sounds like your daughter is part of a squad that is effectively playing up a year, with most of them eligible to play at Under-12, however it sounds like you're in an Under-13 League with the majority of the opposing team players being Under-13's. So most weekends many of the teams are physically bigger, quite naturally.

My advice is stick with it pete. You mentioned on here a few weeks ago that the Manager of your squad explained to you that it's about developing the players technically at this age group and engaging them in football, as opposed to winning. Fundamentally he's right, however I do understand your frustration (and probably young Kirsty's frustration) in terms of turning up and getting beaten most weeks. She wants to win and as her Dad you want to see her win - perfectly understandable.

As she goes up the age groups pete the gap will narrow significantly as she grows and develops, and the same applies to her team mates. Next season at Under-14, and with the experience of this season in their locker, they will be a better and more competitive squad. Same applies at Under-15 and so on. Eventually the age groups will 'catch up' and she'll be an Under-16 player or an Under-18 player playing in the right age group, if that makes sense.

In theory you could move her so that she'll play in exactly her right age group. But again my experience is that if she stays positive and cracks on with her own development, and you keep supporting her as parents (which I'm certain you will do), in the long run these hard days will all be worth it as at Under-14 and Under-16 and beyond, she'll be a stronger player and technically a better player.

Keep the faith pete and carry on at Middlesbrough, and absolutely right keep talking to the Coaches and the Manager about their aims and objectives.

All the best and stay in touch mate

I feel like that bear in a trap who is trying to gnaw its foot off to escape....

Scoreline - 130 Notts

Ming - still three days left mate.

I`m still in the mire despite a decent run.

Illegale - 7.55 Kemp

Thanks Shane.  Good luck all.


Yoko Ono has been signed up for the next series of 'I'm a celebrity, get me out of here!' Show bosses think she will do really well since she's been living off a dead Beatle for the last thirty years.
