Players of the Week
Sports Galore have introduced 2 Cups for each group which will be presented to that group’s players of the week at the end of each session.
The children then take the Cups home for a week and return them the following Sunday. This has been a great success so far.
The cup is not necessarily awarded to the best players, but may be given to the children who have tried the hardest, improved the most, scored the best goals, done the best tackles, etc…
Different children will be selected each week and we feel it is a very positive way of encouraging the children to do their best.
Bad Weather
The coaches will be there whatever the weather and with the use of the all-weather astro-turf pitches there is very little chance of cancellation.
Changing rooms are available and if it does happen to rain we have the sole use of a very large changing room where the coaches will look after their group and will talk about different aspects of football and sport and possibly run a quiz until the weather improves.
Food
At break time Sports Galore will provide orange squash, water and biscuits. To protect those children with nut allergies we ask that no nut products or products containing traces of nuts are brought to Sports Galore.
Clothing
Children should wear T-shirts, shorts, tracksuit and training shoes.
