Great to see the survey has gained so much traction (& completions) over the last few days since this post. We really do want to hear the views of grassroots football coaches @NUSportEx

🚨 Aligned with some of our recent articles around coach drop out and the wider grassroots game.
📰 A friend and supporter of the channel, @4_reece and colleagues, are conducting a large scale survey to gain a greater understanding of the experiences and challenges that grassroots football coaches face in the UK and Ireland.
If you're over 18 and have coached grassroots football over the last year, let your voice be heard in this short 15-minute survey.
