My preferred option

is the new team in the same league? BBDFL etc? if its a different league, there is nothing to prevent him for signing got two clubs. if its same league, the new club can apply for registration to be switched, otherwise you'll need a new FAN which is linked to your email etc.

Coming back to this. I help coach my sons u9s but he's been sidelined quite a bit lately. I can handle him not being first pick but the manager's son plays every minute of every game, takes all free kicks, corners etc

My lad has been offered a trial at the club that his older sister is captain of. How would you approach the manager of the u9 team to tell them he's leaving?

Go for a pint with him

dont tell them

just leave

then totally ghost them

when your paths cross again on the sideline, pretend you've never met them before

This is so 100% the answer. You owe him nowt. Give him nowt. Let it be a surprise when your lad stops turning up & more so when he starts playing elsewhere.

and what does that do to the reputation of the new club?

personal experience, i have had people come down, help out, offer to start a team, then just leave- taking multiple players with them. its even worse when they go to teams within the same club.

parents can be the biggest problem, ghosting them doesnt benefit anyone- its kinda rude and makes you look like a shitbag; for all his faults, the guy is still a volunteer giving up his time for other peoples kids.

We're in the process of moving our daughter to a new team. Her coach has been a bit of a knob for the last year or so. 

Really changed his persona from being a chilled out, affable guy, to a completely closed off anger-merchant. He's swore at some kids (11 & 12 year old girls) for making mistakes, upsets them and then calls them "soft" for being upset.

He absolutely blasted my daughter a couple of months back for backing off and allowing a girl to get a shot in, that the keeper saved comfortably. Naturally, she was embarrassed and to make her worse, punished her by taking her off. She got pissed off, slumped down and didn't come back on.

He sent me a shitty text afterwards questioning her attitude (which has never ever been in question previously) and said he'd be having words with her and that I must be riling her up and upsetting her as she's never been like that before - I said "ok that's fine, speak to her, but be mindful that you've clearly upset her and she may wish to discuss that", which didn't go down well. 

Anyway, we had a bit of an argument, which was mainly due to me being defensive and I questioned his temperament and emotional state, which I really really shouldn't have done. I regret it, but she's better off elsewhere. Her team this season prioritise winning over everything else and that spills onto the parents side too. It's becoming cliquey and a bit toxic and I no longer want any part of it.

Whilst I blame myself for escalating it, I certainly think she's better off. She's had offers from 6-7 teams and has trained with 4 of them. All loved her and practically begged her to sign. She's gone from being low to feeling like a million bucks. 

We'll be handing in her "notice" at training on Wednesday in the hope they allow her to play a final game and say her goodbyes on the Sunday.

He won't.  He'll tell her to pack her bags. I'd leave it till after the next game tbh.

Obviously nowt to do with me.

I also get the feeling he won't, but she wants that opportunity and she's been with them a while now. We want to leave on the best possible terms and really hope she gets a chance to

You could also form your own team and make your kid the star player 

I know this is in jest, but you’ve no idea how hard it is to start a new club… that said @boltonboris you know the door is always open to add to our number of girls teams- you know you want a Nike jacket with initials on it 😂

Cheers for checking in mate. Missus took her and said it went well. They’re sad to see her go, but understand. There’s a few left recently. League game is cancelled on Sunday as the oppo have to backfill a postponed cup game before the deadline. They’re trying to get a friendly together and if they do, she’s welcome to play. 
 

id rather a hard-stop though and just crack on with the new team, but we have to fulfill her wishes

She will mate. She’s a top little player to be fair. Just needs a bit of smoke blowing up her arse. She won’t accept praise from me.

I’ve recently started taking on Reception age kids; and I’m loving it- changes will be coming in via the FA before they are old enough to play in a league, but I’ve got a 4/5 who off I can keep together will be a great little side…

i get the odd message off scouts inviting us down for an ‘experience’, and I hope no heads get turned- but ultimately that’s what we’re here for; get em in, get em enjoying it, development em

Do you really feel youre there to get em in at clubs

Maybe im completely wrong but id keep kids away from clubs for as long as possible

Their game was cancelled mate, so she's going to training on Wednesday night with them and they'll have a bit of a leaving do.

She played her first game for her new team instead on Sunday. Didn't have a great deal to do, but what she had to do, she did really well. She was a bit nervous and more than a bit cold, but smashed it all the same. Good start!!

My eldest under 14s team gave a debut to a lad who'd never played a competitive game yesterday.

A 6ft boxer from Bispham with a bigger beard than me.

He looked prime John Terry at centre back. Scored a screamer and twatted everyone in his path. The lad can play too.

....it's never too late!

could he slowly stroll over the halfway line and pass goal kicks back to the keeper though?
