Have you ever said something to the referee or the volunteers running the line?
Why?
How would you feel if I rephrased what you said to that ref to your son or daughter about their ability to play football?
I am guessing you would think it was unacceptable.
Preparations are underway for the new football season with Ivanhoe teams kicking off from early September.
One of the largest grassroots football tournaments in the region. This year it attracted over 220 teams taking part in age groups from under U7s to U17s.
Is your son or daughter an aspiring Jude Bellingham or Millie Bright? Would they like to start playing football? Most professional footballers started off at grassroots clubs and it is a brilliant introduction to the sport.
New Tupton Ivanhoe F.C. is a 2 star England Accredited Club located in the North Derbyshire village of Tupton just outside of Chesterfield.
