I did this not so long ago, I coached/managed an under 10's team playing mini soccer which was good coaching them (mixed ability) but a nightmare being a manager, the other team's parents would always ref and add on time if they were losing/totally biased to their team.
In the end jacked it in after arguing with one of my team's dads who was older than me, so therfore an expert.
I probably had more time for the lads on my team who weren't "blessed" with much talent rather than the ones who were led to believe (usually by their dads) that they were the next Rooney/Gerrard, Pele, etc.
Shame really as I loved being a coach.
fc coach not a manager
