How we try to put that into practice:
1. All players are welcome to join appropriate squads not over subscribed, regardless ofability. All that is required is a willing attitude and an adherence to club policies.
2. We encourage team values through a Club Code of Conduct setting out what is expected in general terms of a player and his parents. Managers are expected to encourage more football orientated team values and create an environment built on those.
3. We firmly believe that the player’s technical development is the prime factor above allelse from 5-11. From 11-16 a gradual emphasis is placed on developing the attitudes necessary to succeed and win, as well as developing the basic technical skills. At the 16-18 age groups the teams are run on committed attitudes and are prepared for adult football.
