Sunday 18th Oct - Back to usual training - 11:30 - 13:00

Age eligibility

For your child to be eligible to train and play matches for the Under 12's, they  should be under 11 or Under 12 years of age on the 1st September at the start of the new season. If they are 12 years of age on September 1st then they are eligible for the U14's.

Main objectives for the year

Our main objective for the coming season will be to build on the basic skills they will have already learnt and really develop some key strategies and thinking. This will include looking at some basic defence and attack strategies, focussing on using and defending free hits, long and short corners. Key aims will include sharpening basic skills, fitness as well as developing a greater tactical appreciation of the game. 

Away matches

Over the season we will play a number of matches, both friendly and tournaments. We normally try to play all players who turn up in the home fixtures. For the away fixtures we normally take a squad of 10-12 players for the away games. Match fixtures will be posted on the web site and on the notice board.

Kit

For training we ask that children come suitably dressed. In the colder winter months this means gloves, warm hat, at least one other top layer and track suit bottoms or equivalent. We would also recommend they bring a drink.

Please note that shinpads and gumshields are mandatory. Gloves are recommended. We will check your child is suitably dressed at the start of each session and if necessary, your child will not participate if the coach believes the child is unsuitably attired.

For matches, your child will need team colours. This is normally a green and white quartered top with white shorts and green socks. If it is early in the season and you have not got around to purchasing these items then try at least to find green top.
