As you probably know, modern football clubs now demand goalkeepers with excellent distribution. However, practicing your goal kicks can be a massive challenge. Most clubs only have a handful of balls, and players or coaches quickly get fed up with having to fetch them after every single kick. Training on your own as a goalkeeper is usually just as painful; you end up spending 95% of your time chasing the ball rather than actually practicing. This is why I love this training aid. It features a 15ft elastic band that expands up to 45ft, returning the ball straight back to you. The Result: The keeper now spends 95% of their time actually practicing their kicks—and it saves parents from having to run 14 miles fetching the ball 😃 Check Out: https://j4ksports.com/collections/goalkeeper-training-aids and then scroll to the bottom! Guys, please note: We only had 100 balls arrive , so these will not last long.

Thought I would share this amazing photo of my grand daughter Meadow. (only 5 weeks old ❤️)

Does everyone get involved in summer tournaments. Do you like them or are you not fused by them. Sometimes the format is different to what you play. I like the day out and the atmosphere of a tournament. What do you like or dislike about tournaments and do you have any booked on

Scary times at the moment. My mum is on hospital and I'm having to stay at my nans. Waiting to find out if she needs and operation so I'm trying to keep my mind occupied. Dad is up hospital with her but she has been really poorly.

@Hadleigh Smith and Xavier survived the journey to the Netherlands, as did Donna and myself 🤣 (managed to catch an earlier ferry so arrived by 11am ish rather then 1pm) We have explored, the boys played target football, they pedalled our luggage up to our chalet as it was so far away, had a lovely meal and went swimming. Now bed as Xavier's got an early start, Hadleigh luckily has later KO times. Kirsty
