I’m a manager of an U9’s grassroots team. I have enjoyed doing this for some time now and really enjoy the coaching side of it. I love to give back to the kids and it gives me great satisfaction to see the kids develop and progress. However, after the way parents approached me post match at the weekend after a tournament in a manner totally unacceptable, and humiliated me in front of my 8 year old son, after a heavy defeat, forgetting that it is children’s football, all for what!! Because we lost a couple of games and didn't get to the semis or final like they thought we would!!! Since when did children’s football, become about the parents?? A beautiful game ruined again, by the minority (and they were parents). I didn’t take on the role as a manager to get grief from parents. I would like you to share this, with as many people as possible in the hope that the penny drops with someone somewhere. (👉Link in COMMENTS)

Another season comes to a close at City. So many highlights — playing over 100 minutes with the first team in pre-season, stepping up in your first U21 season and showing your worth, and then making the switch from centre-back to emergency striker. 1/2

You ended up playing the remainder of the season as a striker and scoring 19 goals! U21s Players’ Player of the Year and Golden Boot winner across the whole academy — we are so proud of you! Now it’s time to kick on again next season. Keep reaching for the stars, Macy Jane!

This is close to my heart. I am a safe guarding officer to two local clubs. Macy doing her bit makes me proud as she’s played grass roots for both clubs 😊
What is safeguarding? 🛡️ Let last season’s England U15 Schoolgirls and U18 Schoolboys break it down for you! 💬⚽ #Safeguarding 🔴🔵⚪
