SSF Training Information – U6/U7/U8

Training for SSF

Training is at Ewen Park on Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday from 5:00pm-6.00pm. Children should not be left at training without an adult who is responsible for them. The coaches will

be running training for 20 children, and cannot be expected to search for any one child’s water bottle, or to accompany them to the bathroom. We recognise that the 5:00pm slot can be tricky for parents and the Club encourages carpooling and parents sharing responsibility. This is one of the major benefits of the House system.

Bring your own water bottle. Bottle sharing is not permitted.  Each child must wear shin pads to training and games. Shin pads are worn underneath the socks, not over the top. Football Boots are not compulsory at this age, strong sports shoes are a reasonable substitute. Please be punctual to training. Try to aim to be there about at the latest 5 minutes beforehand, ready to go so that the session can start on time. Older age groups will start training at 6.00pm, so starting late limits the time available to you. If you cannot make it, please notify your House Managers. Remember that some training activities rely on an even number of players, or groups of three etc, so the person running training needs to know how many players to expect.
