Whatever The Weather

As a coach and head of a football academy, I always look for ways that the children can improve as both players and people.

One of the things I’m really keen on is getting the children used to playing in all weather conditions as long as it’s safe to do so. I think that getting the children playing in cold, wet or even snowy conditions will help their development and mental strength as football is played in all weather conditions.

One of the first things that parents ask me when they are enquiring about joining is :

“What happens if it rains do you go indoors?”

To which I reply:

“As long as it’s safe to play we will always play outside, whatever the weather”

Unfortunately we have had to cancel our sessions so far this week due to the heavy snow that we are experiencing in London. Hopefully we will be back playing very soon as I’m missing training already.
