U8's

Welcome to Curley Park Rangers.

The emphasis for the under 8s is enjoyment & development. It is at this level that we start to introduce teams, whilst maintaining the emphasis on development. The age group will be split into squads of mixed ability. Some of the squads will play in regular matches on a weekly alternating match / training basis, those children not considered ready for regular matches will continue to concentrate on their development training. All training & playing activity will take place on a Saturday morning, evening training during the week is not encouraged.

There is no requirement to have full football gear; the only thing we insist upon is that the children all wear shin guards, which can be purchased from the club. Also, there is no need to have the most expensive pair of football boots that money can buy. We run a “boot swap” scheme where you can buy used boots for £5 – see Sharron in the canteen.

We train every Saturday from 9.30 – 11.00. We ask that you either remain at the ground during training or ensure that one of the other parents has agreed to watch over your child.

Curley Park Rangers fully supports the FA’s Respect Code of Conduct for coaches, team managers & club officials. Details of this code can be found on the club’s website. To confirm that you support this code, we ask that you sign the Code of Conduct form when you register your child with the club.

If there is anything you want to know just ask me or come to the clubhouse where there will be someone to answer all of your questions.
