Qualified Coaches
Congratulations go to Tony Fisk, Brian Gorman and Tom Nott who have successfully completed the FA Level 1 programme. All three are long serving coaches with the Club and have undertaken this training to consolidate their experience and ensure they are using current best practice.
This nationally recognized qualification, comes with the title 'Club Coach'. To achieve this standard, Tony, Brian and Tom completed modules in Emergency Aid, Child Protection, Club Administration, Mini-Soccer Ethics (RESPECT) and Football Laws, as well as considerable practical instruction on how to organize and facilitate training sessions.
Our thanks go to each of these coaches for putting in the time and effort to improve their understanding of coaching young players as well as the commitment they make week in week out to facilitate football for your children.
If you fancy the opportunity of helping our players develop their football skills then join our coaching team. We currently have space for more coaches in the Fusion, Thunder and Lightning squads. 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.
Refreshments at the Derry Hill Dug-out
I would like to say a big thank you to Colette Som for her magnificent effort at creating the processes and infrastructure to provide refreshments from the Dug-Out. Due to Colete's efforts we are now able to proudly boast a 4 star, "Very Good" rating under Wiltshire Council's "Scores on the Doors" scheme.
Over the past few weeks Colette and her team of dedicated helpers have been trialling the facilities in preparation for fully opening. From this weekend the Dug-Out will be open on Saturday mornings for teas, coffees and soups, healthy snacks and the much requested "bacon rolls". Make sure you order yours this Saturday morning. Come along support our great team of refreshment volunteers and buy some refreshments. All funds go directly to your Club.
If you want access to the Dug-Out to provide refreshments for your squad and their Sunday opposition then get in touch and we'll arrange a short induction, to enable you to do so.

Club Closed
20th December - 8th January 2010
The Club will be closed from Monday 20th December until Friday 8th January 2010. I would like to take this opportunity to remind all members that all of our venues are private facilities not open to the general public and should not be used without the attendance and supervision of a Club coach. Please respect this position and keep away from Bowood Sports Ground, Springfields School and John Bentley School whilst the Club remains closed.
We return to training and match activities on Saturday 9th January 2010.
Have a great Christmas break and a rest away from football. We look forward to seeing you refreshed and ready to play when we return in 2010.
