Playing Opportunities & Club Objectives

The encouragement for boys, girls and youths from U6 age group through to U18 age group to enjoy and take part in football activities promoting the spirit of healthy teamwork with the ultimate aim of developing their football skills enabling them to get better. 

Following the FA Youth review of 2012-13 the Club Philosophy for mini-soccer U7 through to U10 and 9 V 9 football at U11 age group is that children should be able to take part whatever their ability including where possible playing equal playing time with the best practice recommendation of at least 50% of the time per player.

The Club will help players understand the Laws of the game, develop their personal skills in the four corners of the game (Technical, Psychological, Physical and Social) enable them to be listened to and feel success. Whilst not forgetting they appreciate and demonstrate good sportsmanship, form relationships and work together as part of a team.
