6th Annual Bradford Town Youth Football Club Veterans Tournament
Date: Saturday 23rd May 2009
Time: 3.00pm
Venue: Bradford-on-Avon Rugby Club, Winsley, BOA
Teams: 6-a-side, (5-a-side can be played if teams start, or become, short on numbers).
Minimum age: 35 years (we will be running an honour system, so no birth certificates required!)
Entry fee: £25 per team
Competitive environment: The tournament has a history of being a good-natured and fun competition, which we intend to defend and request players are on their best behaviour. If you are inclined to take this sort of thing a bit too seriously, then we'd rather you stayed away. That said, shin pads are definitely recommended as it will be competitive!
Bring family and friends to support your team, as there will be refreshments available.

Sign on Day
Team Secretary
I know it seems a long way off but I just wanted to give you adequate notice that this years Sign on Day will be Saturday 13th June.
This will be the morning when parents attend the Club to renew their child's membership for next season. It is a major activity and I would greatly appreciate your help to do your teams renewals. Could I ask that you put it in your diary and if for any reason you are unable to be there on the day can you nominate someone else from your group who can take on the activity.
I will send instructions and paperwork etc nearer the time.
Many thanks for your help this season, not long to go now!

FA Introduction to Age Appropriate Coaching
Thursdays 21st and 28th May
(6.30pm - 9.30pm)
The one day Introduction to Age Appropriate Coaching has been revised to a two evening event rather than a single full day. This makes this very worthwhile course much easier to attend with participants only required to attend two 3 hour evening sessions. This is an excellent foundation course for all of those coaching children between the ages of 5 and 11 and comes highly recommended.
DHUFC will fund each participant by £10, bring the cost down to £5 per coach.
If you wish to attend this course please contact me at ageappropriate@dhufc.org

Coaches Newsletter - April 09
Firstly, I apologize for the length of this mail but I ask that you review it carefully as it contains some important information and requests which assist both you and the Club with your activity.
Thank you all for your support and commitment this season, it has been great working with you. I really hope you've personally got much satisfaction and pride in the time and energy you've offered your players through the past 9 months.
Have a great break over Easter and see you back at BSG on the 18th.

1. Training And Match Schedule
See attached details of the proposed training and match schedule for season 2009-10. Facilitating this schedule becomes harder each season, with increased teams, resources and constraints to consider. Once finalised each squad will be expected to stick closely to their slots therefore please review it carefully and if you see any errors or omissions contact me by Wednesday 22nd April.
2. Annual Squad Report
As part of the reporting process for the AGM each coaching team needs to produce a squad report. I attach a template for you to use. Would lead coaches please coordinate and arrange the completion of the report and mail it to Wendy at this address before 1st May. Please remember that highlights and successes are not necessarily driven by results as the club ethos is about encouraging children's participation, enjoyment and all round development not focussing on results.
3. Coaching Certificates
It is now an FA requirement of our Charter Standard status that coaches supply copies of their current coach education certificates to the Club. This means all coaches need to supply as a minimum, copies of their current Emergency Aid and Safeguarding Children (child protection) certificates. For the majority who have also attended level 1 a copy of this certificate is required too. Any coaches who have done additional courses to enhance their development such as level 2, Age Appropriate, Coaching Disabled Players etc. should also include copies of these certificates.
Please copy your certificates and send them to Wendy Oxenham, our Volunteer Co-ordinator at 31 Lansdowne Crescent, Derry Hill, Calne, SN11 9NT to reach her by 1st May.
4. Evening Training
Now the light evenings have returned we are able to offer each squad the opportunity to extend evening training to their members. Evening training is optional and not covered under the Club membership fee. As a result it attracts a fee of £2 per player/session which must be collected by the coaching team on the night.
As the weather improves this is excellent way to spend an evening offering the players an opportunity to just play and enjoy an outdoor activity at BSG. As an optional activity evening training almost always means that a number of your squad won't, or can't, attend so combining training with another squad 1 year up or down offers flexibility for the combined coaching team and a different grouping of players for those taking part.
If you are thinking of extending this opportunity to your squad then please contact me before doing so in order that I am aware that it is going ahead.
5. Tournament Log
A reminder that the Club is mandated to maintain records of where our teams are playing so please ensure you log any tournaments that you are entering on the Tournament Log
