Players will only be allowed to come onto the pitch when their session is scheduled to start. To assist in the smooth flow of people between sessions, entrance to the pitch is via the usual pedestrian gate at spectator level and exit is via the vehicle gate which is at pitch level. At the end of the session, parents of U8, U10 and U12 children should walk down onto the pitch to meet their child.

Goalkeeping training
We provide goalkeeping training for junior players who are interested in playing this position, on either a regular or occasional basis. Goalkeeping training may be integrated into a player’s age-group training session, and additional goalkeeping training sessions can also be offered.

We always welcome more players with interest in goalkeeping, and youth members are encouraged to speak to their coach if they are interested in attending some goalkeeping training and playing this position more regularly.
