NECSL ID Card

The NECSL are introducing player ID cards for all grass playing games.  This coming Thursday the 12th of February all players from U11, 12, 13, 14 and 16 must be in the MDL from 7pm to get their ID photo taken.  Each players MUST bring with them a valid Passport or a Birth Cert and five euros to cover the cost of the card.  The card will be valid for two years and must be renewed on expiry.

The cards are being bought in to insure all players play with in their age groups.  It will insure that players only play at the correct age group and no children too old or two young play in a team they are not eligible for.  This is a positive step for all involved in Schoolboy Soccer in the NECSL.  From next year all players on grass must have an ID card for the ref to inspect at the start of a game.  The cards will be kept by the manager to avoid lost cards, as if a player has not got a card they will not be allowed play.

The company providing the cards to the NECSL are Age of Image they will be in the MDL to get the whole club done so please insure your child is there on time.  If you have any questions regarding the cards please ask any member of the club and we will be glad to advice.

Coaching Leagues

This week sees the return of the Coaching League games in the MDL and St Pats.

The Coaching League is non competitive and where our younger players learn all about the basics of the game.  We would like to remind everyone that attends the Coaching League of the following:

  • We encourage positive comments to the children but instruction should only come from their coach.   Please support your coach and cheer your children on.
  • This year there will be referees at all Coaching League games.  This referees are there to insure the rules on how small sided games should be played are adhered too  We ask that all Parents and Managers set a good example and do not question the Referee’s decision.  Also if the safety rules are not adhered too the referee must ask the player to leave the pitch.
  • All Players must wear shin guards.
  • Any player who needs glasses must not wear them on the pitch and they must wear protective Sports Goggles.
  • Photography or Videotaping is not allowed by anyone on the side lines.  The clubs can send their PROs as they are guardi vetted and they must introduce them selves to both managers and referees prior to taking photos
  • No league tables are recorded and scores are not recorded as they as this league is about learning.

Full set of rules for this league is available on the NECSL site here http://www.necsl.ie/coaching-leagues-rules/
Of Course the most important thing for us to say is welcome back to all our young players and enjoy the games !
