Members Season Welcome
I will shortly be emailing all of our members to inform them of the start of our season. The first session starts on Saturday 30th August. My message will inform all members that the first training session starts on this date. If your squad is not going to start on this day then please ensure you contact your squad members to update them of your exact schedule so that we do not have "stray" players appearing on the 30th with no coach to train them.

Timetable
Squad training and match times have been updated to reflect the new season's programme and are now available for viewing at the Club website. Visit "Home" -> "Our Squads" then select your group from the table provided.

Coaches and Secretaries Handbooks

Currently being refreshed and will be posted as soon as complete.

Squad Lists and Player Contact Details

Currently being refreshed and will be posted as soon as complete.

League Programme Start
WWGL: TBD
MWYML: Saturday 13 September
Not all teams will have a fixture in this first week. I will advise you all as soon as the schedules appear.

Only players who have been registered for League football are eligible to play. Not all players have provided the requested documentation and therefore could not be registered. Lead coaches will be notified of those players who have yet to produce the relevant documentation on the first weekend.

Equipment Refresh
Please review your equipment bags and advise on what equipment requires refreshing. If you are short of an item of equipment let me know. Also, if you need to replace your 'away' strips due to their size then please ensure you return the full strip to me, washed ready for re-distribution.

In-Service Event
We are hoping to arrange a short Club in-service event for coaches and secretaries before the end of September. The purpose of the event is to cover a few essential Club guidelines as well as explain the FA's new RESPECT advice and how it may impact your activity.

We are also keen to solicit your views on what you want to hear about so we can better address your needs. If you have ideas please let me know so we can see if it can be accommodated.

The event is likely to be timetabled for a Saturday afternoon, we'll be seeking your input shortly. We are also to looking to end the event with a short, adults FRIENDLY match if this is something that you would consider an enjoyable and worthwhile activity.
