The Mini's continue to train and play most Saturdays. We are very grateful to the help we get from Andy & Ben at First Class Football and all of the parents, grandparents, brothers and sisters. New children are always welcome! Don't forget to wear some extra layers during the winter and a hat or small gloves can be good.
Coaches Annual Report 2007/08 Season:
The fledgling footballers still continue to thrive under Andy & Ben. We also have some girls coming through that we hope will form an U8 Girls team for next season. As ever, a Coach is needed for next season's 'boys' U7's & mentoring is to be offered. Donal has taken a back seat this season and we would like to thank him for his fantastic efforts on behalf of the club over the years.
The Minis Section is Run by Ridgewaye FC for 3 Reasons:
1. To provide an opportunity for younger children to play football in a friendly, safe environment.
2. To encourage them to develop basic skills of football – running with the ball, dribbling, turning, kicking etc.
3. To identify those who would be interested in getting involved in any aspect of the Club, but particularly those who would be interested in taking on the role of team coach or manager for when the children move onto Under 7's.
Are you interested? If so, or you want to know more please speak to Andy – 07929 861394. The Club will arrange Coaching Course and CRB checks and will aim to support you in any way possible. It can be a really enjoyable and fulfilling hobby and is not “a life sentence”.
Without volunteers to take a new team on every year we will not be able to continue to provide football for all ages. So, think about it and talk to other parents, coaches and friends. I will arrange a short meeting in a few weeks (if there is enough interest) so all your questions can be answered.
Payment:
Ridgewaye FC have kept the charge for Minis sessions at a very affordable £3 per session. Please pay the coach at each session. The money goes to providing kit, balls, bibs etc. It also helps to cover the cost of having First Class Football involved. I hope you will agree that having the “professionals” take the sessions has improved the level of coaching and given us all plenty of new ideas.
