That small bunch of kids were just happy to be involved in team football no so long ago. We have spent a lot of time with them (and still do) to
get the very best out of everyone of them. They are extremely hard working at training and in matches for 11/12 year olds. I have yet to see a kids team with a better team spirit than this lot.
I would encourage anyone on here to get involved in coaching or even refereeing as we have a shortage of these positions in this country. Get yourself qualified and let’s see what qualities you have.
I was fortunate when I was a very young lad as my grandad took me to see the best Aberdeen team/manager ever. That winning mentality is ingrained into me and the day it stops is the day I die. I try and teach these young kids the importance of having that winning mentality and it is certainly reaping rewards so far. My dream is to see any one of them turn out for the Dons one day (even if the odds are against it). Aberdeen FC were the team I really cared about and supported passionately but this kids team have taken over now. Watching them play and win is much more satisfying than what the Dons nowadays are offering.
