Total Football - Part 2 - 
How Refreshing!

"In the Netherlands the key ethos is that all age-group teams should play 4-3-3 and that coaching sessions should be fun, with individuality allowed whether players are future stars of Ajax, PSV Eindhoven and FC Twente or destined to remain in the grassroots game."
- Jamie Jackson

Guardian journalist Jamie Jackson explores how dutch grassroots football can show its english counterpart how to run and develop it's approach and young players in a more collaborative and coherent way. Until governing bodies, league and grass root clubs but more importantly in my opinion coaches start to work together there will forever be an overall disjointed and unstable youth system in England.
