THANKS PHIL!
As some of you might be aware, after six years coaching boys through the various age groups, Phil Keen has decided to stand down as the U12's coach. He has passed on the running of the U12's team to the capable Mark Bailey.
As a club we owe him a tremendous amount, not only for his good coaching skills, but for his guidance and example of sportsmanship and fairness, which will benefit all the boys in years to come. The committee, coaches, parents and players would all like to extend our appreciation and thanks for all the hard work, commitment and enthusiasm Phil has given to the club over the years and look forward to his return to coaching next year when he plans to take on the role of coaching the U6's.
Coaching this group of boys has been a real pleasure and something I can look back on with real pride. I have had a great affinity and love for the team, and have really appreciated your support over the years, which have made coaching the team a real pleasure. I'm sure you will extend the same support to Mark .' Phil Keen

PARENTS!
Parents play a crucial part in supporting the involvement of their children with football.
The FA aims to help parents play a positive role, recognizing that involvement in football can greatly influence the development of children, both in the football environment and in their overall lifestyles.
As a result, The FA launched Soccer Parent to work positively with parents, with the intention of raising both standards of behaviour and knowledge, as well as looking to attract new volunteers to the game.
The FA has launched an online version of the programme. Parents, coaches, teachers and young players will find a whole host of interactive information, games, puzzles and downloads aimed at getting the Soccer Parent message across.
The online Soccer Parent course will explain how clubs and schools can organise a Parents Evening to communicate good practice in a fun and friendly way. But the beauty of the internet and its 24-hour access is that the whole course can be easily completed at any time by anyone who has access to a computer.
Soccer Parent is a completely free online course that is available to anybody that registers with FA Learning The FA's Educational Provider. Everyone that completes the course and achieves the pass mark can immediately print off an accredited certificate directly from the website.
