great news when Chester started the PDC but it has really gone down hill, initially knocking kids back when first introduced because of numbers the numbers are now down to about 14 kids for the under 7s, must have been nearly 30 kids to begin with.
when I went along seemed to be 1 good older coach and some teenage lads coaching who had no control over the kids and to be honest didn't seem up to the job,
Just thought id share my experience as I'd like to see the PDC do well.

How does this fit in with the Youth team? The best players from the PDC get scouted into the lower age groups in the academy. |

Honestly don't know, I went to see a friends lad and it looked very amateurish, the younger coaches didn't look arsed at the under 7 session, speaking to one of the other Dads he said loads have jacked it, they were suppose to have games and train every week but it sounds like it's all gone tits up which is a shame.

Speaking to my Friend who had his lad attend it all looked great to begin with, they had trails and the ones picked had to go down the ground to sign on, they were told it was a younger type of academy program and they would play games against other club PDC academies but nothing happened and training cancelled more times than not, he has knocked it on the head now.

Took my lad different size goals, wrong size football, I coach junior teams and to be honest it was embarrassing. Coaches were pinging the ball in the net themselves, on their phones. Great idea poorly executed
