How to get involved with the club!
11 May 2010

There are lots of ways you can be involved with the club from playing football, to coaching or offering to help out at events.
Team Managers are often on the look out for assistants to help coach, they also need a parent to collect subscriptions or complete match day forms, help with goals, corner flags and respect barriers. There is always opportunity to run the line or ensure water bottles are available for the children on match and training days.
Our events do not run themselves and we often need an extra pair of hands to help out. We also need fresh ideas and most importantly support to enable the club to flourish.
If you would like to become involved then please contact us. A volunteer application form is available within Club Dcouments.

Respect - Players and Parents

Respect is The FA's programme of activities to combat unacceptable behaviour in our game at every level - on the pitch and from the sidelines.

This was the No.1 priority emerging from the biggest opinion survey to date of grassroots football in England. It was carried out in late 2007 and directly informed The FA's National Game Strategy, published in March 2008.

We hope that Respect will ensure a safe, positive environment for everyone to enjoy football. From the start it will have an impact on the following areas:

Referee recruitment and retention: By tackling abuse towards match officials, we hope to reduce the stream of referees understandably leaving the game.

Participation within youth football: Abuse and pressure from the sidelines needs to stop if we are to ensure young children enjoy, stay and progress in the game.

Coaching and player development: An encouraging and player-centred approach is vital if we are to improve coaching standards - particularly for the key 5-11 age-group. It's simple: better coaches produce better players.

Safeguarding children: Everyone in football has a duty of care towards children - ensuring they are able to play football in a safe, enjoyable environment free of abuse, bullying and discrimination.

Improving behaviour is a whole-game issue and the 2008-09 season will see the Respect programme introduced at professional and grassroots levels.
