We are now running some small group coaching sessions for some of the Junior age groups with strict safety procedures

Because of the practicalities of current safety restrictions we shall be running small group Junior coaching sessions first for u15s, u13s and u11s only at this stage; we hope to be able to extend this to other Juniors over the next few weeks if restrictions allow. Because of limits on numbers coaches will contact parents to invite children to specific sessions.

Social distancing rules and hand /equipment sanitising procedures will be applied strictly. Each child will use individual equipment and a dedicated ball. Parents are asked to remain during the sessions at a safe distance in case of the need for first aid or other problems.

Costs are £3 per session payable online via the website (as no Junior annual membership fees are being charged this season).

Sessions will be run (subject to coach availability, weather etc) at the following times (the ground will not be available for others to use at these times): 

  • u15s (organised by Craig Readhead): Saturdays 1:30pm
  • u13s (organised by Joe Moore): Wednesdays 6:30 - 7:30pm; Saturdays 10:00 - 11:00am
  • u11s (organised by Mark Fairey): Tuesdays 6:30 - 8:00pm; Sundays 10:00am - 12:00

At other times the ground is available for practice by small groups of up to 6 (adults or family) at own risk, subject to strict safety procedures:

  • Only one group of up to 6 is allowed at any one time. Social distancing rules must be adhered to.
  • Own equipment and individual balls must be used. Please bring and use hand sanitiser.
  • The gates and practice net cage frame must be sanitised (please bring antibacterial cleaner beforehand and afterwards (please ensure gates are closed after leaving the ground)

The clubhouse and changing rooms (including toilets) are closed and will not be available.
