Do You Need Kit For Christmas?
Last Kit Order Before Christmas
- As autumn approaches and thoughts turn to colder weather do you need Derry Hill sweatshirts, waterproofs or tracksuits?
- Perhaps you are already thinking of stocking fillers for Christmas, how about a Derry Hill United Wallet or cap?
- Or maybe your child has grown over the summer and now needs a new football shirt?
Friday 23rd October is the deadline for final orders for playing kit or other extras before Christmas. Any orders received after this date will be held until the next order is submitted in February 2010.
View our range of Derry Hill badged extras online. If you need kit or clothing for the winter please go to the website to find the relevant order form. Then follow the instructions on the order form to send it and the relevant payment to Catherine Saville our Kit Co-ordinator to reach her before Friday 23rd October.
Happy Shopping!
The Clubhouse
We are still working to make our target of opening the Clubhouse at the end of this month. Much has been done but there is still much to do. I would like to take this opportunity to thank all members of the Club committee for their time, support and diligence as we work to close on our responsibilities to open the building to our members and the public. I am sure you can understand and recognize that we have many legal responsibilities associated with providing a safe and risk free facility and need to ensure security, fire, and health and safety issues are completed before we open the building for use. We take this work very seriously in order to provide a safe and welcoming environment for you, our members. My personal thanks go to Andy Nott, Pete Weston, Julie Tipping, Adrian Gingell, Dave Oxenham and last but not least Wendy Crocker for their help, time and commitment to getting this done.
There are still a few items we would like to receive in order to open the building completely furnished. Thanks to all of you who have contributed and donated so far, your support is very welcome. Can I ask that you revisit our "wants" page, which has an updated list of our final needs. Please get in touch with me if you have anything to offer.
Coach Qualifications
It gives me great pleasure to inform you that Rich Lane has successfully completed his Level 1 Certificate in Coaching Football.
This nationally recognized qualification, comes with the title 'Club Coach'. To achieve this standard, Rich completed modules in Emergency Aid, Child Protection, Club Administration, Mini-Soccer Ethics (Soccer Parent) and Football Laws, as well as considerable practical instruction on how to organize and facilitate training sessions.
Rich supports his son's group and our newest and youngest squad, the Derry Hill Vulcans.
I would also like to congratulate Joe Foley who is the second coach within the Club to complete the FA's new coaching course, Age Appropriate Coaching: Creating The Environment. This four day course introduces the FA Skills Programme and how it addresses the needs of young performers and provides foundation values for coaching children during their early development.
Joe started coaching last season working with 2008's new group, the Pyros. This year he has moved back to lead and support this season's new squad, the Vulcans and works alongside Rich and the other members of the coaching team supporting this very enthusiastic squad of 7 year olds.
On behalf of the Committee, Coaches and Club Members, I would like to thank Rich, and Joe for their commitment and support. My congratulations go to them on the successful completion of these important foundation courses.
A Weekend Break
Next weekend, Saturday 24th and Sunday 25th October is the first week of a school holiday and in-line with our usual practice all our venues will be closed to Club activity. No matches, no training and a rest from football for everyone, players, parents and coaches alike. I hope the weather continues to be pleasant and that you get an enjoyable football free weekend to enjoy with your family.
We will see you returned and ready to play on Saturday 31st October when we also hope to show off our new Clubhouse :o)
