I used to play football for my local club from a very young age; around 8 or 9 years old and I eventually stopped a few years ago. I really want to go back because I love football but I am nervous as I don't want to make a mistake on the pitch if I play matches and I don't know where I will fit in etc. Can you give me tips or help?I used to play football for my local club from a very young age; around 8 or 9 years old and I eventually stopped a few years ago.

Go back! You will make new friends and have a great time! On the pitch it doesn't matter if you make a mistake - everyone does, but your team will back you up! And i am sure they all make mistakes too. Look at the professional footballers, they make mistakes ALL the time! I am sure you will fit in - you all have the same interests and probably will get along just fine. If it doesn't go well after the first few weeks then you can always pull out. You will probably regret it if you don't go for it.
