Where will this happen?
Boys will get changed and meet in the Quad and then they will be collected by their coach
What do the boys need to bring to training?
- Soccer boots (joggers are also okay, but it would be great for them to take their boots for a test drive)
- Shin pads – these are really important, even at training
- Water bottle
- Snack for after school to help provide energy to have before training
Coaching- Help Needed Please!
We would be grateful for any parent who is interested in coaching to please contact me as soon as possible. We are looking for coaches to assist in U13, U14 and U16s teams.
