Girls Half-Term Footie Fest
Friday 23rd October
Following discussions with local youth football clubs; Calne FC and Bromham, Derry Hill United FC is now the designated girls development Club within Calne and district. Our role is to encourage, support and develop girls football from the ages of 6 through to adult football at 16. We are delighted and excited to have reached this accord and want to use this opportunity to increase the number of girls who choose to play football as part of their leisure activity.
To celebrate our role, and encourage more girls into football, we are working with the Calne Town Sports Development Officer to provide an exciting and enjoyable, fun football event during the school holiday. This girls only event has been advertised to all of the schools across Calne and to other organizations in and around the area.
If you know of a girl who is not going away for the holiday week, and will be in the area on Friday 23rd October, then get them and their friends down to Calne's super new sports facility at Beversbrook. Not only is the event completely FREE but it will be a great day, and a brilliant opportunity to make new friends and develop football skills at the same time.

One word of caution, we expect the ground to be extremely busy, can I ask that each of you consider walking, riding, or car-sharing.

New Club Coach
I would like to congratulate Kevin Beresford of the Blaze who has recently completed his Level 1 Certificate in Coaching Football. Kevin becomes the third person this season to complete an FA coaching course, and I would like to thank him for his time and commitment to advancing his knowledge of football and how to coach and develop young players.
If you fancy the opportunity of helping our players develop their football skills then join our coaching team. Derry Hill United offers free access to Level 1 courses, subsidized access to those who want to take their coach education beyond level 1, as well as mentorship and support. Coaching is a great way to widen and develop your own skills and is extremely rewarding. Contact coach@dhufc.org for more details.
