So as I have posted before I have started running. Not massive distances but enough to get the blood pumping and consistent. Most footballers say preseason is the most important part of the year as that's when they get ready for the new season. I'm interested to see what others do. Have you added anything to your preseason or are you just waiting for matches to kick off.

Hi everyone During the summer my lad's Sat club told us they would be bringing in a second keeper and playing a half each. Son has only returned to keeping a year and we decided to leave and drop down a division to play the full game for his development. Lad was gutted with how he was treated. His Sunday team asked for early commitment during the summer, some lads were trialling elsewhere etc and they only wanted people committed to the team. We committed and paid subs for the year. Now they are a trialling a second keeper. They haven't said anything to us about it and how it would impact on his playing time etc. Would you expect coaches to speak to us? Should we speak to them? Just let things play out? Was a lot of money and is a lot of travelling etc. They may not sign him but shows they are looking for a 2nd keeper. GK is such a confidence position. You need the confidence of the coaches and this is not what you need just before the season starts. What does the community think? Thanks

Morning all, we just found out the my George has been dropped down from the keeping emerging talent group (they halved the amount of keepers), to the keeping development group from our local biggest team. Just wondering if you guys have any advice or words of wisdom - I can pass on to an 11 year old? For context he got moved up to that group at Christmas and has only completed his first season as a full time keeper for his grassroots team, so maybe he just needs more experience and patience?

Today was my new EJA's first ever match together and it was the complete opposite to yesterday's match. I don't even know what we lost by (6/7-0) although the opposition parents even said at least 2 of their goals were offside but there is a lot the team can take from the match and I did what I could do but always room for improvement. We will keep training and gel as a team
