| 107 | Neil Robinson | Football is a competitive sport, all our players want to win, whether that means the game, a league, a tournament or just their own personal battle on the pitch during each match. If we take this away from them it can only be detremental to the Welsh system as a whole. |
| 108 | Amanda Bassett | I have been involved with mini football for the past 5 years - 4 of those because my son was playing U8 to U11's. Compitions are needed so that children can have a more rounded developement. It is hard enough telling a child at U8 that there are no winners of the league - that it is only for fun. So please don't take away their right to play in competitive tournaments that are well organised and raise much needed funds for clubs. |
| 109 | billy hillman | In my many years of involvement at grass roots level football, I have some a few daft beurocratic decisions, but nothing ever as ridiculous as this one. It MUST not be allowed to stand. |
| 110 | Julian Edwards | I totally agree with the sentiments above and see no problem at all with children under 11 playing in tournaments. In my experience it's the parents that create most of the problems. Children need to learn to win and lose, but more importantly parents need to help their children understand that losing isn't the end of the world and they need to learn from any disappointment they have in life. |
| 111 | maurice naylor | As someone who has been involved in junior football (U8s onwards) and now have progressed to senior level, I see no harm and also agree the children enjoy the competitive side to these tournament. |
| 112 | Karen Davies | My son has been playing in these competitions for many year with no adverse consequences |

| 116 | David Rees | My Daughter has never had any issues competing, and win or lose very much enjoy's the whole excitement of the tournaments. |
| 117 | Joy Jagoe-Williams | |
| 118 | Linda Drew | I believe competition is healthy and that children should learn to be good losers despite the disappointment. Part of the crowd trouble in matches today is that some people cannot accept it when their team loses a match. |
| 119 | Anonymous | I agree |
| 120 | Guy Holt | A football game is two teams playing against each other trying to decide who is the best team by scoring more goals than the other team. How can football be non competetive. Also as others have said life is competetive so this is also about preparing children for life something that in this day and age is sadly lacking. |

| 126 | Anonymous | stricter ruling on abusive parent is needed ! however no need to spoil it for the children ! it is the parent who can spoil what is supposed to be an enjoyable day out ! give a heavy fine to clubs for unruly parents ! |

| 128 | Steve Cooke | What a joke! The WRU must be rubbing their hands! |

| 130 | Steve Evans | Let the kids play! |
| 131 | Dawn Price | As a Secretary of a football club for 12 years I have seen first hand how players from the age of 7years old right through to Under 16 level have progressed. Our players have showed marked improvement in ball skills through the years, this has happened by them playing week in week out against other teams, otherwise how could we hope to get players to a reasonable standard, that perhaps one day be good enough to play internationally, but this would be unobtainable if they don't learn at grass roots levels, from a young age which is where many international players started from, like Wayne Rooney, Michael Owen and Ryan Giggs. I strongly suggest that the Faw give deep consideration to these facts when making such an important decision as restricting the talented young players around us. |

| 137 | p.leadbitter | i think it is wrong to stop tournaments for the under 11 as after standing in all weather during the season it is nice to have a day at a tournament when the children can enjoy the day and get something at the end of the day if they win or are runners up . |

| 139 | stephen mcconviile | totally agree |
| 140 | TRACEY BLOOMER | I 'm disappointed to see the FAW jump onto the already overcrowded "P.C. Bandwagon". Why should competitiveness be seen as such a bad thing?It' the reason why every surviving species exists on the planet today! It doesn't have to exclude the encouragement of many good values,indeed,how can you teach good sportsmanship without it?Anyway,to be truly non-competitive the FAW would not only have to move the goalposts but take them off the pitch alltogether. |
| 141 | ian parr | as chairman of the mid and north powys junior football league, any one who tries to have this stupid rule reversed has my full support!!!!!
did you know that the english system starts playing competitiv at u11s and they also play 11 a side, which we dont do till u13s, so no wonder we are so far behind, 3 years to a kid playing footy is one hell of a long time
many thanks

| 145 | Steve Powell | Junior rugby tournaments are competitive. As far as I know the WRU have no plans to ban. |
| 146 | Anonymous | its about time something was done its only natural for a team /child to be competative its what they see there football idols or team done regulary so they can try and be like there idols no one remembers second place whats wrong in bringing that winning mentality |
| 147 | Robert Dunn | I nagree with the above statement and think that children should be allowed to play competitive football matches. |

| 149 | Anonymous | we currently run an under 10 club and to each and every one of them the tournaments are the highlight of the summer.....they love it when they work hard and win but yet they appreciate other teams when they work hard and win. its all fun and good |
