Child Protection in Sport Awarness Workshop

A big thank you to all our coaches, assistant coaches, committee members and our Child Welfare officer who all attended and successfully completed tonight’s Chid Protection in Sport Awarness Workshop.

Sandra McAuley , Code of Ehtics Tutor, gave an interesting and informative course in Child Welfare to all who attended. This year it will be a legal requirement for all involved in training and coaching children to have completed this course and tonight marked an extremely important step for us in JFC to have our volunteers trained to the highest standard available.

Without our volunteers giving up their free time to be trained we would not be able to run a successful club and for this I hope you can join me in thanking them all for their continued dedication to the club.

Under 8s

Under 8s & 10s New Names and Training Update

This year the Under 8s have chosen for 2013/2014 to be Called “Allstars”   They will be Training Every Tuesday from 0545.    The under 10s have also chosen their name for the year ahead “Hawks” they too will train on a Tuesday from 645.

If possible for both teams could you pay your subs once every four weeks starting from this Tuesday so a payment of €8 to cover training for the next four weeks.  As the training schedule is very tight Phil feel this will give the kids more training time and cut down on the time spent collecting subs.  Please can you reply to Phil to let him know if this is ok
