SOCCER STARLETS last ever classes came to a final close this week, along with a few tears 😭
Literally 💔 saying a final goodbye on the night to everyone in person receiving lovely gifts, parents text's & 🙏 cards, written by the kids (tough read lol)
(5 years journey picture frame of memories is priceless ❤️)
To every coach, parent & child that's ever been associated with us, a huge thank you to you all, as we wouldn't have ran as long as we did !
On 12th February, the amazing Lee Howarth of Morley Futsal Club will take on every child under his wing & I guarantee he will improve their ability immensely & more importantly keep their friendship bonds running at Morley Leisure Centre
(Plenty of spaces 5-9 & 9-14 year olds every Thursday !)
Personal note...my coaching days of 10 years at Grassroots Football UK are now finally over, but will forever take the best experience I could have ever hoped for, including lifelong pals.
Best & main advice I can give to a new coach, is to give every player equal game as much as possible, as the kids & coaches reap the rewards in the long run 👍
Personally preferred to coach loyal local kids, that turned up every week & gave their best in training & match days.
Chasing out of town talent to win a shiny 🏆 was never my bag.
Signing off now for the very last time as ever saying, Win Lose or Draw, ALWAYS PLAY WITH A SMILE ON YOUR FACE 🙏
