Good on you! Did my coaching and got to a level 2 but parents were a nightmare. Two teams at one club under 11’s and president of the club had two mixed teams before I came - those really good and those who couldn’t kick a ball. I was hated as I changed it and made one good team and the poor kids got hammered every week. The good team though won loads!

My view is why should talented kids suffer! Same as education - bright kids should be all together and those that are less able put together too. Selection although harsh works!
