Year 5 Football Team Trials

Trials for next year's football team (2010-2011) will be undertaken soon!

Trials will follow the same procedure as last year.

There will be a short meeting for any Year 5's (boys or girls) who would be interested in attending the trials. This will take place at an assembly time/playtime - date to be confirmed soon. At this meeting, those interested will fill in a questionnaire.

Following this, me and Mr. Ashwell will take a look at all the questionnaires and if you are successful you will be invited to 2 trials.

Teamwork trial - This will show us how well you can work together in a group. We will also be looking for leadership qualities. You will be given a variety of tasks to do in groups and we will see how you get on.

Skills trial - A chance to show us your footballing skills. We will be looking a dribbling, shooting, passing, goalkeeping, heading skills as well as your teamwork and speed and movement skills.

So get training and you will be notified of the initial meeting the first week back after half term!

Year 6 Football Team

Dear Parents/Carers,

Firstly thank-you for all your support with the football team over the past year. All the boys have made great progress with their skills since they started back in Year 5. They should all be very proud of their effort and achievements.

The last training session of the current team will be this Thursday 10^th June. This will enable us to begin trials for next year’s team from the current Year 5’s.

Please could you return all football kits as soon as possible in a named carrier bag ready for use for next year’s team.

I am sure that you will also join me in saying thank-you to Mr. Ashwell for all his support with coaching the team this year. Mr Ashwell’s skills have been an asset to the team.

Thank-you again for all your support and I wish your children the best of luck with their footballing futures! I will be looking for some of them in the England squad in 10 years time!

Mr. P. Merchant

(P.E Co-ordinator)

Next training session

We had a constructive training session last week as we consolidated the skills that we had learnt so far.

There will be no training next week as we are off school for polling day but maybe you could practice some of your skills at home?

The next training session will be on Thursday 13th May at the usual time 3.30pm - 4.45pm.

Please remember your full kit and a water bottle if it is hot.

News of matches will be released as soon as they are confirmed.
