I've been lucky enough to go on a fantastic sports tour with Hull Collegiate 6th form over the last several days to Italy. So many highlights to pick out but aside from being a very proud coach I have to say I thoroughly enjoyed seeing the San Siro stadium (especially after watching the Inter vs AC game the night before). Although built in 1925 and having had a face lifts along the way the stadium itself is immense and given the roof and 80,000 capacity I can only imagine the

Check out these clips from our latest football camp/holiday activities at Haltemprice! After a positive morning focusing on topics such as overloads, underloads and 1vs1 we took a little time out before lunch to cool down and use the volley net! One player effectively created his own highlight reel but there were some fantastic attempts from all. Wait till the end to see our head coach Tom! Clips from our mornings session! Channelling our inner David Beckham with some free ki

Since returning to coach with LUFC we have made some really positive steps forward in a short period of time but the best night yet had to be the first game of the season last week against two local sides East Riding Rangers Red U7 & Wawne United U10.

Although the positive feedback has been pouring in from parents my favourite quote has to be: "It was miles better than all the other football camps as the drills and ga

All sorts of interesting debates taking place with the new 12 rules being put in place by the Football Association this week. Some great ideas below but are some a step too far? Would love to hear some thoughts and feedback to any coaches or managers involved in youth football #fa #youth #review #12rules #football #children #soccer #sport #calm #safe #development #skillfull #compeitive

Although Thursday night is a late finish I have to say that it's worth it for these sessions. Connor (part of the Richardson crew) has been training with Fit4Fun for several months now once a week and has developed his skills and understanding of the game fantastically well. He is becoming more and more comfortable playing off both sides and loves to compete against me, his dad and his brother Josh! He was happy to win the through ball competition 13-9 last night after an epi
