“THE FIELD OF DREAMS”

A dream where The Beautiful Game is enjoyed to the max!
So, this year my plea to parents is remember that dream. Do not destroy it for any child by criticising or putting them under too much pressure to do well. Do not live YOUR dream through your child. Leave them to find them. Once they cross that white line it is THEM and their team mates!

Allow them to make mistakes – that is how we learn isn’t it?

Let them express they – do not shout and bawl if a defender decides to try and take on the whole of the opposition inside his own half. Applaud his courage and skill.

This year we are adopting The FA’s Respect campaign as a club along with the league. I urge you all to try to watch the videos on these pages and comply with everything that you are asked to do on a match day.

If we all do this then we will have a very enjoyable and, successful 2009-10 season!

Darren Doyle

Chairman

Every Sunday there will be a "boot box" at the games at Tendring Technology College. Please bring along any old / unwanted boots, shin pads, goalies gloves etc - these will be made available to buy for a small sum, helping out those who need kit and also raising a few pennies for the Club.

Respect is The FA’s programme to address unacceptable behaviour in football – on and off the pitch.

On average, 7,000 referees quit football every year at because of the abuse they receive from players and from the sidelines. Lots of children also pack it in because of the attitude and actions of over-enthusiastic and pushy parents.

In response, The FA’s Respect programme provides a series of tools for leagues, clubs, coaches, Referees, players and parents from grassroots to elite football to ensure a safe, positive environment in which to enjoy the game.

These tools include agreed codes of conduct, in-service training for Referees, Respect club packs, spectator sideline barriers funded by the Football Foundation and ensuring captains work with referees to manage player behaviour.

The FA has also launched a free online Respect Parent Guide to highlight examples of poor behaviour and, more importantly, how it can be improved. To see the Guide for Parents and carers click here .

New crop of players required for new Mini Soccer squads

Now the current season is up and running FWYFC is already starting work on developing squads of players for what will be the under 9's and under 8's next season.

If there are boys or girls aged either 6 or 7 at the start of the current school year (current school years 1 &2) wanting to give organised football and training a try we will be starting up training for children on associate terms (i.e. not playing league matches) in a few weeks time.

Please contact the Chairman, Vice Chairman or Secretary for further information.

Annual General Meeting.

The club's AGM took place on 17th June 2009 at the Frinton Campus of Tendring Technology College, Rochford Way, Frinton.

The meeting was well attended and reports from all outgoing officers of the club were heartening as it has been a good season enjoyed by players and spectators alike. The anticipation is the club will continue to grow during the coming season with a new girls section. This should take the number of players to in excess of 200.

The committee was elected for the coming season and is listed below:

 

Position	Officer
Chairman	Darren Doyle
Vice Chairman	Mark Rowson
Secretary	Deborah Grange
Treasurer	Paul Richardson
Fixture Secretary	Mick Collins
Child Welfare Officer	Esther Beach
Social Secretary	Mark Snow
Website Admin	Rob Lewarne

The position of press officer was left open although Ian Lock has kindly offered to continue to liaise with the local press for match reports etc..

Thank you to all attendees for the support of your club. The officers and managers are extremely grateful for your support.

FA Coaching courses

As a football club responsible for coaching youngsters it is always of paramount importance to us that those youngsters get the right type of coaching by trained coaches.

For this reason we were glad to take up the offer of four free places on a level 1 coaching course provided by the FA in association with McDonalds. The cost to the club would otherwise have been in the order of £400. In addition to advice on coaching the participants also received training in respect of child welfare and first aid. The offer was made to the club because we are working towards FA Charter Standard.

Congratulations to Paul Perryman and Albert Wiles from the Under 10's and John Lake and Tim Brownsdon from the Under 8's, all of whom successfully completed the course which entailed two full weekends in Upminster. This obviously represented a large part of their own time and the club is truly thankful to the commitment of the four gentlemen.

As part of McDonalds participation in scheme our club also gets a significant amount of equipment including footballs, bibs and other coaching equipment. We calculate the total package has a value to the club of close to £1,000.

Our thanks to McDonalds, the FA and our four coaches for giving up their time so that our children get an even better football experience.

The club can provide crested merchandise. The kids love it and the prices are very reasonable. The icing on the cake is that profits go to your club rather than a sports shop. Help support your club today.

Take a look at our merchandise page for further details.

As parents and carers of children that play football we have an important role to play. The FA recognises this and through its online Soccer Parent course provides an insight into how we should all behave. The link below will take you to the relevant part of the FA website. You do have to register with FA Learning which is The FA's Educational Provider to take the course but it is very well designed and has been created with a great deal of thought. The whole process should take you 30 - 45 minutes and at the end of it you will have a solid understanding of your role and maybe a better appreciation of what the coaches' objectives are. You even get a certificate if you complete the course and are successful in the test at the end. The course is completely free.

Members of the Club's committee  have taken the course. I hope you will not be surprised to hear they have all passed to date!

Please take a little of your time to have a go - it should benefit all who do!
