Had an incident at the weekend. U16 game Blue v White. Blue player telegraphs a slide tackle and the white player easily avoids any contact. Blue player cleanly puts the ball out of play for a throw just inside his own half. The coach is screaming at me that "someone is going to get hurt , these are only kids" and if that happens he will personally sue me!
So after asking him politely to leave the vicinity for inappropriate behaviour it got me thinking just how controversial these challenges are in Youth football. So I'm interested in your ideas. Should sliding tackles be part of the game or treated as dangerous play? Thoughts please guys...
