And saw some very promising albion contracted under15s

Well done to all the P W Colts teams who took part at the weekend, It's a club thats going forward.

Unfortunatly I had to be a bad dad on sunday and could'nt watch little bulldog play because of work, I was gutted because he scored his 1st competitive goal for about 2 years and I missed it.

it was a pleasure to watch the under 15s bulldog,even on the astro it was very good,and quite a few parents from other teams watched which was nice

Gotta set the record straight about the PW Colts tournament I was the one of the 2 managers involved, and catagorically there was no racist comments at the tournament. That happened elsewhere. However unfortunately it got a bit heated between a manager and one of the parents, sadly it ended with the other manager removing his team at half time, which was dissapointing for the all of the boys. As you rightly say a poor example was set. These boys are the future of football, and need the best possible example set to them. PW Colts match officals were superb and handled it all very well. Well done to them for a very well run tournament. As was the Worthing Town tournament this weekend.

From what I saw of both tournaments they were very well run, I had to leave for work yeaterday before little bulldog broke his wrist in a game and I understand there were question marks over the first aid available. I'm hoping the stories i've heard of what happened to little bulldog are'nt true because I'd rather just concentrate on getting him home and getting him better, But if I find out they are then a complaint will be going into the appropriate authorities.

racist comments? manager removing his team at half time?

What was that all about then?

soz to hear that,hope it heals as fast as poss,see you at the presentation

 

[British Bulldog]

Luckily it did'nt need screwing back together like the doctors 1st thought so with any luck he'll be back for the start of next season or soon after. So yep we'll see you at the presentation night.

Didn't want to start a seperate thread.

My neice, nearly 11 wants to join a Worthing based team next season.

It's a bit delicate asking the manager/coach outright but are these guys (manager/coach) subject to enhanced criminal records bureau checks?

Thanks for any help

Yeah they have to have full police checks, It's only right as well.

Oh yeah I wasn't saying they shouldn't!

But thanks for clearing that up.

All managers have to go on basic first aid courses as well so on the whole it's a safe enviornment for kids to be in, The only change I would like to see is all managers having to pass a basic coaching course before they start training kids.

Thanks! The above information will help to put my sisters mind at ease

Gotta be honest guys.....

These CRB checks are a little bit 'false security'....they only show past prosecutions.......so I guess they become out of date the moment they are issued....... !!

If it is a big worry for parents I would suggest that you do as I did.....go to each training session and match and make an assessment of the coach/manager....parental instinct can I think be far more effective than CRB checks !!

They should never be in a situation where any abuse can take place....to be honest.

But come on guys lets not go down this road of irrational fear..... Football on the whole is run by comitted parents who do a great job.

 

[Beach Hut]

Well I was at Hailsham on Sunday with the U15s and one player got a straight red and ejected from the rest of the tournament.

I hasten to add not an ASC Striker player and not our game but our group - a very crude elbow challenge after the final whistle and fully deserved IMHO.

It's important to get to know your kids manager and to know his qualifications ( or her at the risk of sounding sexist ) and then it's down to your own instincts and trust. I know one thing for sure, No matter how much they try a manager can never please every parent.

I'd recommend that any parent looking for a team for their kid ensures that they are an FA Charter Standard club. Although by no means foolproof, there are certain standards around organisation, coaching credentials, etc that all clubs have to meet (http://www.thefa.com/GrassrootsNew/CharterStandard/Club/).

The link above takes you into the grassroots part of the FA website and you can check out the clubs who have attained this standard in your area. Worthing Town Youth have a girls section and they also have links with the Albion in the Community team.

That said, when I took my level 1 coaching course, there were a couple of people there from a club based in Sussex who were getting their charter standard who seemed to be there because they 'had' to be rather than because they wanted to be. I wouldn't have wanted them coaching my son.
