Year 5 Team Information

Dear Parents/Carers,

I am pleased to announce that your child has been selected for a place on the Glade football team for September 2009.

The training for the team will take place every Wednesday after school from 3.45-4.45pm. Training will still take place in the event of bad weather. Training will begin on Thursday 30th April and then continue on a Wednesday until the end of term.
Children may wear any football kit for training along with football boots and shin pads.

We will play a number of league and cup matches throughout the year against different schools. You will receive individual letters about the matches that your child has been selected for, as and when dates are confirmed. You will need to sign and return the reply slip for each match. Children will receive the Glade primary school football kit which they should wear for every match. Please note that not all children will be chosen for every match and some children will come along as reserves, which may mean that they are not required to play in that particular match.

Parents are encouraged to come along to support us during our matches but are reminded that the focus is on developing teamwork and skills. As with most youth football clubs, coaching from the sidelines is discouraged, as lots of different instructions can often be confusing for the children playing.

All information is put onto our Football blog which is updated weekly, so please check this regularly. It can be found on the left hand side menu of the Glade website.

If you have any questions please do not hesitate to have a word with me. If you give permission for your child to join the team, please complete the slip below and return to me, care of your child’s class teacher.

Thank-you for your support,


Mr. P. Merchant

Next year's team announced!

Congratulations to the following people for making it into Glade's football team for next year. Thank-you to everyone who took part in the trials. It was a very difficult decision this year.

Well done everyone! - Mr. Merchant.

Updates!

Parkhill Junior match

Thank-you to all of those who came to support us in our most recent match. Despite some initial concerns as to whether the match would be on or not, it was good to see the boys improving their play as the game progressed and even though we did not win, I’m sure that everyone learnt a lot from the game. Thank-you again to James for refereeing the match for us.

Gilbert Colvin match

This match will be our final league match of the season. More details will be available once I have confirmed them.

League position

We are currently 3^rd in the league with St. Anthony’s and Fairlop above us. I am assuming that St. Anthony’s will end top of the league as they are unbeaten, but hope that you will agree that we should be very proud of being so close to the top of the table. The team have achieved so much since they started, coming together from such a wide range of backgrounds; I am very impressed with each and every one of their achievements.

Training

The last training session for the team will be on Friday 8^th May, as we begin training for next year’s team. I am hoping to organise a Year 5 vs. Year 6 match towards the end of the Summer term which I’m sure everyone will enjoy. Please can you return school football kits ready for use next year following the Gilbert Colvin match.

Please remember that there will be no training this Friday as it is the last day of term.

Hope you have a great Easter break.

Updates!

Just to say well done to all the boys for an excellent try against St. Anthony's on Friday. Even though we didn't win, everyone tried really hard and in the end they were a better team. We must not let this stop us in being positive about our next two matches. We have done so well in the League so far and I know that we can keep it up. Man of the match goes to Dylan.F for some excellent goalkeeping. What progress you have made since you started!

Our next match will be this Friday 27th March against Parkhill. The match will be held at Glade and kick-off will be as close to 3.30pm as possible.

Please find below a link to our section of the League. It is updated regularly once results are in. It tells you our position in the league etc.

Preparing for the match on 20th of March

By Dylan Tak
Let me just start off with saying all year fives be ready for the football team next year and please come to the try-outs because we want everyone we can get to try out.

We had a good match against fairlop and i hope we can have even better results against St.Anthony's. We are currently in the group stage of the league and we need to get into the quarter finals so I have added two videos, one on taking on players, and one for shielding the ball from defenders to help us win more matches and we are currently undefeated in the league so i hope we can keep this up.

Fairlop vs Glade

today glade played a well earned 4-4 drawn match away at fairlop primary school.
The proclaimed "Fairlop tigers" had a very poor first half but a good 2nd half.
Dylan. F deserves a medal with the way he played today saving some of the the hardest shots that glade has ever tried to defend. The formation of 4-3-3 was quite good with Stelios, Dylan.T(goes on for Ryan) , Rakeem and mohsin in defence with a great block from Dylan.T and another 2 From Both Rakeem and Stelios plus Stelios and Dylan.T with a great squash block.
even though it was 4 all it seems like we won with 1 of there goals been scored after they went of the pitch with the ball(but there was no throw-in)then a goal happened.The formation was:
Attack: Vishau, Billy and Folusa
Midfield: Joe, Louie and Charlie
Defence: Moshin, Dylan.T(on for Ryan),Stelios and Rakeem
Goalie:Dylan.F
