The academy is where all players start to learn about soccer and so this is the perfect place to get your child involved with soccer.  If your son or daughter has been wanting to play soccer now is their chance to join a team.  Come down for the morning and introduce your child to the world of soccer.

On the day you need to bring runners or astro turf runners (Football Boots must NOT Be worn), shin guards, Water and your subs of 2 Euro.  Also a parent of Guardian will have to stay with your child for the duration of the training, now and everyweek.  The annual registration is €30 for the academy and we will welcome all players born in 2007 and 2008 to the Academy.

Coaching League Fixtures

After what has been a long summer,  the coaching leagues are back  on Friday night for under 10’s Eagles and Saturday for all other junior teams.  The MDL will yet again provide us and other teams in the NECSL with a facility to play.

This year  all playing areas will be strictly no smoking.   No parent or coach will be permitted to smoke in the vicinity of the playing fields.  The MDL will have a designated smoking area.

Only astro runners or ordinary runners to be worn on the pitch.

This year official photography only is permitted.  Where a game is being photographed by an official, they will have introduced themselves to the coaches and obtained  full permission from the teams.

It is important that  these rules are respected as it could prove upsetting  for both the Club and the individual were they to be asked to leave the venue.  As the NECSL has to look after the welfare of all children, these rules are important.

Please see below  for this weeks Fixtures.
