RULES REVISION

If you wish to make any amendments to the current rule book please make sure that they are with the league secretary no later than 13^th February 2012.

 FUTSAL

This was a great success and enjoyed by the under 16’s, thanks for all their contribution to the project.

 3G

Some teams are going way over on their games on the 3G making a much shorter playing time for the teams coming on after them. Games must be finished on time, if the game is not finished by the time the next game is due to start you must leave the courts.

 Footwear on the surface is still also a problem. Any player found wearing studs will be asked to leave the courts and put on suitable footwear.

Only TWO team leaders per team are allowed in the courts at any one time.

 QUESTIONNAIRE

The league is looking to send out to all team mangers a questionnaire on how they would like their leagues run. If you would like to add a valuable question please send to the league secretary no later than 17^th February 2012.

COMMUNITY CHEST INVITATION MEETING

Although this meeting is not mandatory if you want to get some funding for your club I suggest that you attend.:  25th October in the Newport Tennis Centre meeting room 6.30 - 8.00pm.

SCORES

There have been some terrible high scores in games lately. Not just competitive but mini also. There is really no need for this, the team that score a lot of goals are learning nothing and it is soul destroying for the opponents. It also happens between the same club with A & B teams. Because of this we see a high percentage of teams dropping out of the league. We have asked the Welsh Football Trust to put on some workshops to help mangers/coaches in situations like this.

 

 

REFEREES

Parent referees must report all cautions and dismissals in writing to Peter Aston within 3 days and details put on the back of the match report, as per rule. Failures to comply will result in disciplinary action.

 

FUTSAL

Just a reminder of the above course in Newport next week. With this growing within the game in Wales it is well worth going along. It will also help all the under 16’s managers when we hold (hopefully) a tournament in January for the under 16’s.

 

MATCH REPORTS

Please don’t waste money on fines on the above. Club secretaries check the match reports before you send them to the fixture secretaries. They are really poor again at the moment.

 COACH WORKSHOPS

 

The above have not been supported very well in Newport lately. If you need to revalidate your team leaders you must make sure you enrol on these courses. But why wait till then. These workshops are a great source of information. Not only do you get to know your local Football Development Officers you get to learn more about the game. You will be surprised what you can take back to your coaching sessions. Please give them a try; they are also free which makes them even more appealing.

 

DON’T X THE LINE

Very well done to the clubs that have taken this on board. All clubs that are using this say it has improved conditions at the games for the coaches and children. Those who are not using this perhaps if you go along to the Community Chest meeting they inform you how you can apply for funding perhaps for this project.
