  • Who is More Important?! The Players or The Manager? | The Football Fun Factory Podcast - Episode 30

    When it comes the grassroots football, who is more important? Is it the players who make the game possible, or is it the managers who make everything around the game possible?

  • Childrens Football: The problem with Player of the Match Awards! | The Football Fun Factory Podcast - Episode 27

    Episode 27 of the Football Fun Factory podcast discusses the Player of the Match award in children's football.

    Is this award essential or is it ruining children's football?
    When the way that a child is selected varies so much from club to club, how can this be a fair award?
    Is it just something that has become part of the game, and we should accept that there's always going to be one child who wins it more than other.
    Or should the award focus on more than just who scores the most goals, and focus on the brilliant qualities that every child can showcase within grassroots football.

  • Goal bonuses in children's football: Yes or No? | The Football Fun Factory podcast - Episode 26

    Should goal bonuses be allowed in children's football? In this episode of the Football Fun Factory podcast, we debate the big conversation about goal bonuses.

    Is there a real benefit to having these within children's football, or are these incentives causing more harm than good?
    In previous generations, goal bonuses were seen as a bit of fun amongst families, and it was more about the goal than the money. Are we now in an age where children care too much about the money they'll get, and is this impacting the enjoyment of grassroots football for children?
    Listen in to the podcast to hear our thoughts on this big topic which is dominating the grassroots game currently!

    In episode 22 of the Football Fun Factory podcast, we put 1-2-1 coaching on trial!

    Does this type of coaching have a place within youth football? Are there benefits for the children who take part in these sessions, or is 1-2-1 coaching just another trend in the football coaching industry?
    With the rise in 1-2-1 coaching organisations, it's clear that there is demand for this type of coaching. But can 1-2-1 coaching really develop a child's football skills further or faster than traditional group coaching sessions?
