We have been invited to participate in a mini-festival of 7-a-side mini-soccer for U8s teams hosted by Spennithorne next Saturday 11th September.

We will take a squad of Y3 & Y2 players who will be coached by Lee on the day.

Please make sure you let Steve and Lee know if your child is available to play.

We are running as usual this Saturday from 10:30.

New players are welcome as always.

SMSC on as usual this week with the SMSC at 10:30 - 12:00.

We are looking for volunteers to help with admin duties (e.g. registration and collecting subs money).

If you are interested in helping - can be there most weeks and are reliable and trustworthy please let Steve know.

Steve.

After last week's break we're back on as usual this week with the SMSC at 10:30.

*Note that last season's U8 players (school year 3) have moved up to our U10s squad as they become U9s (school year 4) from September and will train at 09:00.

See the U10s page and this news article for details.

Steve.

There will be no SMSC This Week (Saturday 24th July) due to coaches being away.

Wwe will be back as usual (10:30-12:00) next week (Saturday 31st July).

Please note that last season's U8s (current school Y3, to be Y4 in September) will be joining our new U9/10 squad as of Saturday 31st July - with training sessions from 09:00-10:30. More news on this soon.

This week we shall hold a meeting at the pavilion for those current U8 SMSC members (current school Year 3) who will be joining a new U9/10 squad and entering into the Wensleydale Junior Football League U10s division for the new season.

The meeting will run from 10:30 for 20 approximately minutes and will be attended by players and parents - followed by a normal SMSC session afterwards until 12:00.

Please arrive promptly for SMSC so that we can get the meeting done quickly and back out to football.

The SMSC continues as normal for the younger players (School Y2, Y1 and Reception).

Here's an update for this weekend.

The SMSC will run as usual on Saturday (10:30-12:00)

On Sunday it's the annual GALA DAY run by and in aid of the Sports Association (which the Junior Football club is part of along with senior football and cricket teams). This is the major fund-raising event of the year and we need to support it and ensure it is a success.

We're running a football tournament for U8s and U10s as part of the GALA DAY. Unfortunately we were not able to get sufficient interest in running something for U6s alongside - so the tournament is only for the older U8s squad.

There are lots of opportunities for people to volunteer and help with the football tournament and with the GALA itself - please let me or any of the GALA organisers know if you would like to help.

After our visits to the tournaments in Darlington last weekend it's all back to normal for the SMSC on Saturday - 10:30-12:00 at the Sports Field.

Please remember to bring back washed kits from last weekend.

See you there - Steve.

SMSC

The SMSC will run as usual with Dave Young this Saturday morning (10:30-12:00) although a squad of our older U8s will be taking part in a tournament.

This week we're celebrating England's first game in the world cup as England Football Day.

So rather than the usual SMSC sessions we're having a open morning to attract new players and let people find out more about CVJFC.

All SMSC players can come down at any time between 09:00-12:00 and join in with skills, drills and mini-soccer matches.

Let's give a warm welcome to any new players and families who come along.
