Hi Peter, hope you are well. Thanks for joining us on here! We appreciate it may take a while to get used to especially after using Hive for a while.

We have moved a fair amount of the coaching cards over to The Boot Room, if you use this link you will find all of our Foundation Phase content, some of it is new, others have been updated from Hive.

We have a selection of playlists on there as well which group together some of the content. Some coaches may have saved their material on Hive and could bring it across on here if they choose to, but moving forward, The Boot Room will be the main place to visit for this content.

Fantastic. Many thanks - glad to hear I can migrate all my Hive cards! 

Good to know that we can migrate content from Hive. Can you point me in the direction of/or give me some instructions on how I can do that please?

Hi Trevor, apologies if my previous reply wasn't too clear as it may have been misinterpreted. In order to bring Hive cards/content over, that content would have needed to be saved elsewhere and then brought across here. Some coaches may have saved their material, and if so, could post it in this new community platform.

I believe a message was sent to Hive members to say that as of 31st August, it wouldn't be possible to access Hive anymore and therefore any content would need to be saved and stored elsewhere before this date. I don't believe it is possible to do now unfortunately.

Apologies for any confusion here.

Thats really annoying and quite frustrating I cant remember ever seeing that email, we would of wanted to transfer our stuff across. our grass roots club had hundreds of session plans that we have built up over the years, now lost. I hope the stuff in boot room is as easy to access and user friendly. Otherwise its back to square one.

Agree Daniel, the new resource seems like a huge backwards step from hive. 

Doesn't seem as easy to navigate or find relevant resources. 

agree entirely...

Gotta say, whilst i am happy Hive has been replaced in some form... this platform is nowhere near as user friendly as Hive.

I've created a Facebook group called 'England Youth Football Coaching Forum' see if you can find it, join and invite others... the more people the better and we can regrow something closer to what Hive was!

Cheers Christopher, will give it a look, hive was a nightmare for notifications, but was a one stop shop for everything. this new community doesn't quite cut the mustard, and the bootroom seems empty compared to hive. I think the FA have made a mistake here, I wonder if they consulted with any grassroots teams.
