Season 2002 / 2003 - Under 11's

In our opinion, football is the greatest game in the world, and there is no greater pleasure than watching children playing football and enjoying themselves. For children, football is a healthy form of exercise and a learning experience in terms of self-confidence, team building, sportsmanship, social skills and leadership development.

We are committed to teaching the technical skills of football as well as promoting sportmanship, teamwork and fair play amongst all members(players), families, spectators and volunteers. Players are encouraged to have fun, enjoy themselves, to have a pride in themselves and in what they achieve as a team. We don't play to win at all costs. Enjoying ourselves and developing as players and a team is our objective. We want to win, but win playing good football and within the laws of the game. Playing to the best of our capabilities and having a pride in our performance regardless of the result is our primary objective.

In order to achieve these goals, coaches and parents must be role models, lead by example, in their conduct and attitudes towards sportsmanship and fair play.

Gary Norman, the current team manager holds the F.A. Junior Managers qualification which covers coaching, child protection, and emergency first aid. He is currently studying for an F.A Coaching Certificate....Good luck Gary.
