IMPORTANT NOTICE TO PARENTS : Forest Glade FC - 2014/2015 Season

Dear Parent,

Forest Glade FC – 2014/2015 Season   

Further to a recent meeting between the Forest Glade Committee and the Under 6 coaches it has been agreed that we will enter 3 teams into the South East Essex Primary Mini Soccer League for next season.

It has furthermore been agreed that each team should have a maximum of 7 players per squad (5 players and 2 subs) thus bringing the overall number of players to 21 for next season.

As coaches we have decided that we will use the remainder of the month to assess the players at FG and then decide over the weekend of the 31 May/1 June to pick our respective squads for next season.

Therefore the format of the training may be slightly different to normal in that we may have more game based time to help us assess the players.

This though leaves us with a problem in that based upon our current numbers of circa 26 – 28 we are going to have a number of  players for next season that are not going to be included in a squad.  

Therefore we are hoping to be able to launch with the support of the parents a further group which we will be called the Panthers/Training development squad and the idea is to continue to provide access to this group of kids to help them develop their own football skills and to help prepare them to play games at some point in the future.

However based on our current number of coaches is it not going to be possible to provide access to this unless we have a parent step forward and volunteer to coach this group on a full time basis.  The issue we have is that due to work patterns we can only ever guarantee on any one weekend three coaches.

We will of course help support any parents that step forward in the initial stages and they will also need to undertake the relevant CRB and Level 1 coaching badges.

Unfortunately without somebody stepping forward the alternative is to turn people away from Forest Glade and this is something that we really want to avoid.

If you have any questions regarding the above then please do not hesitate to contact one of the coaches to discuss.
