Hi All, 

As part of end of season celebrations there has been a suggestion from some parents within my team to organise a kick about of dads vs. Kids (followed by awards). Personally as a newly qualified coach I am uncomfortable with this idea. Particularly from a safeguarding perspective (accidental injuries etc.). 

I have found a couple of articles dating back to 2016 which does not recommend these types of events. However I was wondering if anyone had any current formal guidelines? It’s bad enough feeling like the party pooper to begin with, so some form of formality would be much appreciated. 

Thanks in advance.
