· 2009/10 Squad
Ant will be speaking to parents about completion of the necessary signing on forms ready for the season start. It is important parents give us a mobile phone number and e-mail address (where they have one) for ease of communication. Parents should contact the coaches at the earliest opportunity if their child cannot train/play. Coaches mobile numbers/e-mail addresses are given at the foot this letter.
· 2009/10 Kit
New shirts/shorts/socks will be issued. Shirts are currently being logoed. New squad numbers 1-11 will be issued. Any player from last year wishing to retain a squad number should let us know asap before new squad numbers are issued.
· Team Selection for new season
Players should prepare for training like it is a match day. Come kitted out in the right gear including shin pads at all times and in the right frame of mind to listen, learn, work hard and play competitive football.
Training will be an important part of selecting the team for match day so it is important that players come to training willing to learn and trying to impress the coaches. The team for the Saturday will be selected following training on the Monday and parents notified of the team selection by text no later than the Wednesday.
We will not be taking more than 9 players on a match day and will not be operating a rotation system for all the players signed on. In this respect parents are reminded that payments to the club cover facilities and running expenses and are not a guarantee of Saturday football. Substitutes will be used and the extended playing time should give us more flexibility but we cannot guarantee a minimum number of minutes on the field as the coaches will make decisions on the best use of substitutes in accordance with how the game is unfolding on the day.
REGARDS, KEV & JEFF (REDS COACHES)
