Evening everyone, My son suffered a nasty injury to his nose yesterday after being kicked in the face whilst on the floor resulting in his nose bleeding quite heavily and needing hospital assistance. Thankfully nothing is broken, just some swelling and bruising (he handled it like a champ). He wants to get back into football, but is a bit nervous in case he has another bang to the nose. Has anyone ever used one of these masks? Are they allowed? What's peoples thoughts? Thanks 🧤

Hi all, sorry I've not been active for a while. Its been a tense few weeks but Mason has been offered a place at Hull City academy and has signed till the end of next season. Mason is absolutely buzzing and keen to step up once again. I did want to tell you all sooner and share a photo but his signing day experience at the MKM Stadium isnt till next month. Mason has overcome setbacks and rejection and worked hard over the last 2 and a half years and the last 6 months has started to turn heads. He played a fabulous game against Hull and they were keen to see more of him. After 8 weeks of long journeys back and forth from Sheffield and hard work trying to prove himself, he finally got his reward. So proud of him.

Playing in an U9 game, against the wind and under constant pressure and then suddenly your boy does this. Game ended 1:1 and like I always say. A Keeper will never win you a game but they will stop you losing it I criticise his performance every week

Thought it would be a good idea to make a socials post so we can follow eachother and support eachothes journey. Feel free to drop your social links in the comments and I'll give you a follow.

After @Erin Bothwick posted about warm ups as her coaches don't warm her up. I am interested how many grassroots teams coaches actually warm up the goalkeepers and how many are left to teammates or parents. This is only really for teams that don't have an actual goalkeeper coach that I'm interested by
