Training

Dear Team and Supporters,

Tough day Sunday. Didn’t get much sleep Sunday night.....but had a few thoughts in the early hours Monday. Nothing too profound.....

Firstly....I was very impressed by how you kept playing for each other....your spirit and commitment is unquestionable. Secondly....we only had 10 fit players and they had 11 and sub. Thirdly.....on the day they were better than us. At 11 a side weaknesses are exposed...massive pitch, massive goals, more players, skilful and strong. We have to begin to build a strong unit from the back to attack. ...and with more training and hard work we will do.

Training will take place at Upton Sports Centre 5.45pm- 6.45pm. Can you do your best to get there please. Let Robin or I know if you aren’t able to. Lifts could be arranged if required. Can you also bring a cheque payable to AFC Waverton for £30. This will cover the cost of the training for the first 10 weeks.

Thanks

Simon

 

 

 

 

 

 

When Sunday comes.....

Dear Team and Supporters,

 

Just a quick reminder that the match Kicks off at 1pm on Sunday (Waverton) so we need to meet at 12.30pm for warm ups. Remember drinks.

 

Thanks

Simon

 

 

 

 

Training- the final chapter!

Dear everyone,

This is becoming a farce....

I have now been told that our training slot on a Wednesday is actually 5.45pm -6.45pm as originally communicated. Therefore if you are able to come tonight, after all the messing around, we shall be training on pitch 2 from 5.45pm.

I can only apologise for this ...even though I was given duff information. It pays to check with the Sports Centre directly!

 

If you can’t make it tonight I fully understand....but if you can I will see you there. From now on our training will be at 5.45pm to 6.45pm on Wednesdays.

 

Thanks

Simon

 

 

 

 

AFC Waverton Jets V JFC Boughton

Dear Team and Supporters,

This Sunday we play host to JFC Boughton at Waverton. Kick-off is having to be at the earlier time of 1pm (sorry but there are lots of games on the pitch after us) Please meet for 12.30pm warm ups. Not sure if the goals will already be up so any help on that front would be greatly appreciated.

See you Wednesday at 6.45pm at Upton Sports Centre. Please let Robin or I know if lifts there or back are required.

 

Thanks

Simon

 

 

 

Training update

Dear Team and Supporters,

 

Sorry to bombard you all with emails today.

 

I have just had confirmation of the training pitch availability at Upton Sports Centre.

 

Our available time slot has changed to 6.45pm-7.45pm. I hope this will still be ok for the vast majority of us.

The cost of the pitch comes to £27.50 for the hour each week. I plan to ask all parents (whose children are available on Wednesdays) to contribute for the next 10 weeks. I can then ensure the booking is secured, we don’t have to faff around in the dark taking subs, and no one is left out of pocket. I trust this is ok with everyone?

 

Can you confirm by email if you are available so I can then work out how much we all need to contribute. It would really help Robin and I if we don’t have to chase replies. It will work out at approx £2-3 per session. A cheque made out to AFC Waverton can then cover the training fees.

 

Training will take place on pitch 2 at Upton Sports Centre (on the Astroturf pitches  off Mannings Lane – opposite side of the A41 to Upton High School) this Wednesday at 6.45pm. Please note that you will need trainers only.

 

This option will allow us to train throughout the Autumn/Winter.

Training

Dear Team and Supporters,

It sounded as though you acquitted yourselves really well last Sunday in a hard fought and physical encounter away at Blacon. Those goals for may count at the end of the season so really well done for keeping going and showing the Waverton Jets grit and determination....along with some excellent skills. It really is about how we learn and develop from these occasions as a team.

We are in the process of trying to secure a Wednesday evening (5.45pm-6.45pm) slot at Upton Sports Centre (on astro turf/floodlit) for training. This will be a really important statement of intent for the team. Training will help us improve as a team and individuals prior to aiming for success on a Sundays. There will be a small charge for the training pitch which we hope to secure on a block booking. I will let you know progress on this as soon as possible.

This weeks training will take place on Wednesday at 5.45pm venue to be confirmed by email as soon as possible.

Thanks

Simon

First fixture

 

Dear Team and Supporters,

 

Some more news about our first match at home (Waverton Village Hall) against AFC Waverton Rockets this coming sunday. We shall be kicking off at 1.30pm promptly. 30 mins each way. Our match official is a chap called James Tucker. The Rockets have agreed to wear bibs (they will bring their won as for some reason they didn’t want to wear our pink ones!)Please all be there for 1pm warm ups. Some help to put up the goals etc would be very much appreciated. I aim to be there from about 12.45pm.

Just to confirm a few more bits n bobs. I won’t be able to attend our next game (12^th Sept away at Blacon) due to work commitments. I also have to miss matches against Upton (home) on the 3^rd October and Vickers Cross (away) on the 10^th October. These are the dates for my FA 1 Coaching Course. Robin will be taking charge on these dates. Apologies...but I think you know where I’d rather be!

 

If you have any questions give Robin or I a ring.

See your Thursday at 6.30pm (Christleton)

 

Remember drinks and also boot cleanliness

 

Simon
