Kevin Middleton⭐🔥 • Aug 5@Chris Unruh Great feedback, Chris, sounds like a really good experience.I think the rise of organised play versus unorganised play is a problem worldwide.

When I was young, everyone was a street footballer!You learn a lot in the street compared to organised training, in my opinion.It’s great to hear that you got a lot out of the camp though.2Reply

Stephen Kavanagh • Aug 6 (edited)@Kevin Middleton Things have changed a lot and quickly. I think formal, widespread ‘coaching’ as we see it now has only probably existed since the mid-late 1990’s. I was always out playing football, all hours of the day and night. My kids just don’t do it, I’ve tried to encourage it but they just don’t. It might be different in cities (we are in a rural area). You can see the ones that haven’t done organised sport from a young age as they don’t move as well as those that have - so much play has … See more2Reply
