A bit late to the party but great for Arthur getting his mothers day POTM with his mum and all his grandparents there!

Quick one – any advice from other parents? My son’s development team doesn’t have a GK coach, so he sometimes ends up standing around while outfield training is going on. I try to keep him working on his own drills, but it’s not always easy. Any tips to keep young keepers engaged and developing? Keeping it fun is the main thing ⚽️

I thought I'd ask any parents here, who may recognise this & have an opinion. I'm the parent of two good-level GK's. TBH, they're both mucho above average & play for a grassroots team + are at a major name club. This is my reason for posting. I have found they are both exceptional at their academy, but when it comes to grassroots - because the players there are more general & lads out to play at weekends - its hard to move up & then down, as it were. Grassroots is fun & good focus/exercise etc, but as you know, academy soccer is very different. Does anyone have kids at both?
