Given the disruption of the past 2 seasons, will the FA support the notion that age groups are held in their current playing format for next season.
For example, current year U12 are moving to 11aside next season after two disrupted 9aside seasons.

Two foundation phase age group suggestions to increase engagement on match day.
1️⃣ rotate the captain's armband (they ALL love to wear it!) and let the young players choose THEIR captain🗣️
2️⃣ Let the young players select THEIR player of the match. 🏆.

I maybe late to the party on this one...
Not a classic coaching book📖 but many great snippets and behaviours for the modern day coach to take onboard.
The podcast is very decent too!🧠🗣️ Especially the Gareth Southgate episode.
