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
