Does anyone remember their younger days? Football in the streets or a park from first light to last. We all have fond memories of those days, but drive past any park today and, likely, there won't be a football in sight! You will also struggle to find anyone playing in the street. Kids don't do that these days.
Thinking back to my youth, we played matches against each other all the time, which were usually 20 kids versus another 20! We also, to pass the time and beat boredom, played informal football games like Worldy, Wally, and Headers and Volleys. We may not have realised it at the time, but those games taught valuable football lessons, and again, I don’t see many kids playing them these days.
Instead, there are a number of kids who play football several nights a week via coaching sessions, which are usually fun, safe and well-structured. Here they learn to a curriculum or plan, facilitated by adults.
However, by learning and only playing football this way, are kids missing out by not playing informal games with their friends in an unstructured environment?
