I have played football for most of my life starting out as a defender for my school teams and then moving to midfield and forward whenI Iplayed for Buckland and Moretonhamstead. I stopped playing football in 2005 and now I only play the odd charity match when asked. My main role is managing the under 15 team and preparing them for senior football in two seasons time

Yes - better pitches mean a better chance to develop technique/skills
No - wouldn't make any real difference to development
Maybe - but I'd be worried about more injuries on firm pitches
