I am glad you all enjoyed your day and hopefully it will be the start of new interest for some of you in Stanley. 
Football at grassroots level has a massive part to play in excercise, becoming part of a team, learning new skills and also getting kids into football it's not all just for the kids but also for parents and coaches/managers etc. who give their time for nothing but all play a part in spreading the word of the beautiful game.
Good Luck to the Girls & Ladies for the Season
Hedman you have my upmost respect |
Thanks for your kind comments, I couldn't agree more there's lots of work that goes on behind the scenes and I think most parents realise that it's not just the hour spent at training and the time at the game on a Sunday. We are fortunate to have a very comitted band of Committee members (albeit small - new volunteers always welcome (plug plug) who give above and beyond for the benefit of the girls.
As a club we hae encouraged our under 18's to become young ambassadors for our Acorns Squad and they led the drills at the game on Saturday, the same girls have also run taster sessions in local schools and have achieved the FA Level 1 coaching award
We also try and involve parents for instance this week we are having a look at the Respect Scheme and explaining their role in the Respect Scheme
As a club we do hope that this is the beginning of a long and mutual partnership between the Stanley and AGLFC and that we can work together for the mutual benefit of both parties and in particular girls football in the local area
Thanks for your good wishes
