GIRLS ONLY SKILLS TRAINING 24 JUNE 2019 4PM-5PM

We are celebrating the Matildas success at the FIFA 2019 World Cup with a girls only skills session this Monday.  All girls interested in playing soccer are invited to attend.  If you have a friend who likes to kick the ball around bring her along!  There will be no skills training for boys as a result that week.

HOME GAMES

Parent assistance is required to set up goals and move goals at the end of the game.  Under 8 & Under 9 Goals need to be pegged in or lay down flat if not pegged as they can easily topple over and are a safety hazard.

Make sure your child has a blast at game day and become the perfect football parent!   Here are 9 tips to help you along the way -

1. Focus on your child’s efforts and performance rather than whether they win or lose. At this age children are playing football purely for fun. There is no evidence to suggest winning is a motivating factor in keeping them playing. Praise them for effort, sportsmanship and skills rather than worrying about the scoreline.
2. Remember that children learn best by example. Appreciate good performance and skilful plays by all players. Cheer when the opposition score and clap when one of their players has a good run with the ball. Your children will notice.
3. Volunteer at our club to show them you are engaged with their sport as much as they are. Try a committee role, coaching or see if they need help in the canteen on match days. Don’t be shy to put your hand up and help out where possible. 
4. Parental behaviour is absolutely critical in ensuring that young players enjoy an appropriate environment in their formative years of playing football. Respect officials’ decisions and teach children to do likewise.
5. A major focus should be on letting the children play with minimal instruction and plenty of encouragement. Let them play. It’s a game after all!
6. Show appreciation for volunteer coaches, officials and administrators - without them, your child could not participate.
7. Spending time with their friends is a key motivating factor for girls’ sports participation. Give them time to hang out and chat before and after games. They will enjoy the social side as much as the match – and so will you!
8. Learn the rules so you can support your team where necessary. 
9. Applaud players when they are substituted and let them know they will soon be back on the pitch. It will help them understand rotating players is a normal part of playing football and ensure they do not feel they have done anything wrong.
