What is Vibes FC? vibesfc.co.uk
Vibes is a small-group coaching club I've set up for girls focusing on building confidence through fun.
It's a place for girls to play sport and make friends without the pressure that can come with organised football!

I was short of a park for this weeks sessions and mooted using a public park (which is maintained to the extent it was goals and nets up) and everyone I consulted reacted in abject horror
We’ve reached a place where only the maximum level of sanitary facilities is acceptable

A win and half a foot out of the group for Scotland with 2 big games coming up.
Anything less than a win and they could’ve booked the flights home 😬

Some parents chase the “best” badge instead of the best environment.
Facilities and reputation mean little if your child loses confidence, enjoyment or belief.
Development isn’t just about the level. It’s about feeling supported, challenged and valued.

My opinion - the "growth" of women's football is a bubble and it's going to pop as men's clubs (and most importantly their fans) find they can't sustain a financial drag.
HOWEVER, the future is positive. Grassroots women's clubs will grow and create their own fans on the way 👍

Following the conclusion of the 2025/26 SWPL season, the Club can confirm several changes to AFC Women both on and off the field.

That England kit is incredibly naff and looks like the kind of thing you would get free with 20 cans of Carlin in 1998.
I am a fan 🤣

Most players are trained with tons of technical reps & no decisions, just to score & be ball dominant. But without context, they don’t learn how to react. Drills don’t develop feel. Real development requires chaos, frustration, & problem-solving. That’s how game skills are built.

Why my daughters drawing of a deer reminded me of what I stand for (featuring said daughter) 😂

Once Upon a Play
Once upon a time you played.
You did not train kick the can. You did not practice hide and seek. You did not drill hopscotch or prepare for fingerpainting. You ran, you hid, you hopped and made a mess. All in the name of frivolity and fantasy.
Once upon a time you played.
You did not need motivation to move. Mindfulness was minding your own business. There was nothing at home but white bread and a thin bed. You were out for the day and home before dark.
You did not need a playdate to play. You knocked on doors. You gathered the available turning a street into a stadium. “Car, car – C-A-R” was the only delay in delirium. No phones, no fear of missing out. No text, just context.
And suddenly that bell. The truck was sauntering down Montrose Terrace in Allendale. You sprinted home to grab change from the cracks in the sagging sofa. Forty-five cents a fortune. Push-up cone or ice cream sandwich? The tough choice of champions.
And in that process learning emerged. You learned that mowing a lawn was worth the sweet taste of sugar cones. That a morning paper route was worth afternoons of rope swings and bee stings. You learned that poison ivy itches, but that sea water solves rashes and restlessness. You learned that nightcrawlers are the best bait for bass. And the best bass were hungry at dawn off Earnie’s rocks or Teddy’s dock.
You learned that your first fight won was a loss because victory hurts when you hurt someone. You learned that baseballs bruise and big dogs bite when you do not pay attention. You learned that play was a privilege, not a down payment for an Ivy application. You learned to stack wood, paint a shed and to shed tears when Muffin dies. You learned that down syndrome kid is just a kinder version of you.
Once upon a time you played.
You learned about leaners and ringers and the hidden rules of horseshoes. You learned that Grampa was a leftie and Nanny was a tom-boy with grey hair and a stubborn soul.
Once upon a time you played free from scrutiny and far from adults. You kept score and then washed the slate clean on the bike ride home.
I am not sure what I offer as a coach if not a safe place to play. And that just may be enough to give to the children of today what I cherish from yesterday.
Once upon a time I played, too.

I’m looking to build an app - anyone got any hints/tips/tools/pointers?

Because of what Sir Alex Ferguson created there - an absolutely unbreakable team spirit.
Before you watch youtube clips of "Pep's 3000 favourite rondo's" or "possession drills for newborns" you should strive to build this.

Quick question: why is it mostly only Manchester United legends that still move like brothers even after retirement?
You rarely see that bond at other clubs. Even Bastian Schweinsteiger, a Bayern Munich legend, doesn’t vibe with ex-teammates the way he does with United legends.

Sensational patter - football is taken far too seriously IMO

I've never seen a whole team make it 🤷♂️
Focus on the individual, not the team.
The reality is that most sessions in youth football are group and possession-focused.
It’s what many coaches are taught, and it’s what we see on most conventional coaching courses.
But as coaches, we have to ask ourselves:
Are we really developing individuals…
or are we just developing teams?
Just because players are active and sessions look busy doesn’t automatically mean learning is taking place.
Players need opportunities to develop the skills they will use in the game:
receiving,
retaining,
releasing,
dominating 1v1,
and solving problems on the ball.
Perhaps we need to place more emphasis on skill-based development built around the needs of the individual, not just how the team performs at the weekend.
After all, better players usually make better teams.

Here’s a wee video
The problem is not that kids do not want to win.
They do.
The problem is when winning becomes the only thing adults value.
There is a big difference between teaching players to compete and making them feel worthless when they lose.

I lived in Spain for a year and immersed myself in their football culture. Very quickly picked up the words for left, right, here, wide, man on, slow, fat, shit, bald, clown and "no we have enough players".
Highly recommend it.
Football terminology in 16 languages.
Quiz format, so it actually sticks.
