The Changing Room
Football teams looking for players
“Teams looking for players” is one of the clearest signs that someone is ready to act: a player wants a team, or a coach needs the right player.
Ballrz should make that easier without turning child/player details into public adverts.
For Parents, players, coaches and clubs
For players and parents
Look for teams that match the right age group, level, location and availability. For under-18s, parents or guardians should lead contact and avoid posting child contact details publicly.
For coaches and clubs
Be clear about age group, position if relevant, level, training location, match day and who should make contact. For youth football, keep recruitment responsible and parent-led.
Why safer posting matters
Facebook groups and WhatsApp chains are useful but messy. Structured listings can reduce confusion, keep context together and avoid unnecessary personal details in public posts.

Yes, but youth recruitment should be responsible, parent/guardian-led and careful about what details are shared publicly.
What information should coaches include?
Age group, team level, training area, match day, positions if relevant, who should contact the team and any safeguarding expectations.
