Just a line on an important meeting for clubs in Sligo Leitrim and Nort Roscommon! :ball:
The Sligo Leitrim Youth & Schoolboys League are in the process of developing a club based participation format for Under 10 Soccer.
The League wish to encourage children to take part and to give them quality experiences which are right for their age and stage of development. This will lead to more long - term and lifelong involvement in the game. The environment in which children play the game must be safe, fun and challenging and all practices must comply with the FAI’s Code of Ethics for Children’s Soccer. The massive growth in interest that has occurred within the game presents both challenges and opportunities. Access to appropriate coaching and training, allied with appropriate competitive activities are crucial to ensure that children can have fun and develop their skills in a planned, quality and structured fashion. With this issue in mind it is essential that a detailed review of all competitive opportunities for children is undertaken. The proposed pathway model for soccer strongly emphasises fundamental motor skills and sport specific skills at the fundamental and learning to train phases. This means that all children should play the game in an environment where fun, general and specific motor skills are the top priority. Actions are proposed in the areas of a player development manual, coach education, structures, competition, participation and game format. A Meeting will be held in Merville Community Centre, Maugheraboy, on Monday 18th July at 8pm, to start the process on a local level, with a view to launch a pilot project in September. All Clubs who have players at this important age group are asked to send a representative. :ball:
