10 goals ahead, change to 2-touch football. This forces our players to work smarter so they get more out of the game, and hopefully evens the match up. If we get 15 goals ahead then we take a player off the field.

I guess finding the balance between allowing the kids a chance to increase their skills and their football education and showing them they don't belong in this company is hard. I'm not sure we'll need to go this path with my team this year, but I'll be chasing up with the TD to ask more questions about it.

Personally, as coach, I'll be catching up with parents many times during the season and part of that will be giving them the information they will require to make a decision to continue at this level next season. That then informs their financial commitment.

I'd be concerned if your scenario above played out too many times - surely the blame lies with the process that allowed them to get this far?
