Player and Squad Photographs

This Saturday, the 14th November, we have a sports photography company visiting Bowood Sports Ground to take individual photos of every member and a team shot of each squad.

The photos will be sent to the Club with preview packs for each member and the opportunity to order photos in time for Christmas. You are under no obligation to purchase but if you choose to do so, not only will you be getting quality shots of your child playing football, but you will also help to raise funds for the Club. To see examples of the photographers work click here.

Here are a few tips to ensure your child is ready and equipped for the photo shoot.

With over 200 players and 14 squads to photograph, some of whom have away games that morning, we have had to allocate a time slot for each group to ensure the event runs as smoothly as possible. Lead coaches and team secretaries are aware of the schedule and will advise you what time you need to be at Bowood Sports Ground. The schedule is tight so there will be no opportunity for latecomers, teams or individuals, who miss their slot.

Players will only be photographed if they are wearing their Club kit. It needs to be clean and therefore if you have training before your scheduled photo time your child should wear alternative kit to train, and then change into their Club kit before the photo session. Goalkeepers should wear their keepers kit and goalie gloves. Players who forget their kit will not be able to take part in the team photo.

If you are a new member awaiting kit please let me know as soon as possible so I can try to find a spare shirt for you to wear for the photo. You will need to provide your own shorts and socks, if you can please wear blue ones.

Let's hope the weather is good for Saturday,
