TOURNAMENT 2010

Following the success of this years events, the club Tournament Committee met to begin the planning process for next years events.  With Worthing Leisure Centre not accepting any youth football tournaments next year, some changes would be necessary.  It has been decided that the club will run a three day tournament over the Spring Bank Holiday weekend - that is 29th, 30th and 31st May 2010.  The event will once again be at Palatine Park.  This gives us the opportunity to grow the event into one of the biggest and best around.  Watch this space for further details.

SUMMER TOURNAMENT

 July 4th and 5th saw the final club event of the year with our Summer tournament being held at Palatine Park.  Saturday saw male competitions at U15, U16, U18 and Over 35's. The Vets competition is particular was very well received with lots of positive comments made.  In the end, Rustington Otters won the event.

RECORD NUMBERS

2008-2009 drew to a close with the last training sessions of the season held on 27th June (although we still have the summer tournament taking place on 4th-5th July).  At that date, the number of playing members had reached a record 443 making us by far the largest football provider in Worthing.

Registration has already started for 2009-2010 with over 200 forms returned to the club already. 

The Mini Soccer Centre got off to a fantastic start with nearly 90 children attending our recent open day and taster session at Chatsmore School.  The event, together with the accompanying leaflet drop has attracted nearly 100 new players to the club.  The MSC brings all mixed mini-soccer training together in a single location. 

Congratulations to the team for an excellent performance.

SECOND "BIG KIDS TOURNAMENT A SUCCESS

Last Saturday (2nd May), it was the turn of the adults with the second annual "Big Kids Tournament once again sponsored by NSure. 

9 teams made up of dads, coaches and managers from the various teams in the club participated in a 5 a side competition in glorious sunshine at the Glyn Owen Centre

 The ‘Ladies’ beat the ‘Under 11s’ in the final 3-2 with Sam Gill scoring his second goal of the game to clinch the win in extra time

 It was a fun day with all the games played in a great spirit and gave the oldies the chance to show the kids how it should or shouldn’t be done! The winning ‘Ladies’ team had the advantage of including a few younger boyfriends and partners in their team, but having to put up with shouts of ‘come on ladies’ did sound odd.

PARTNERSHIP WITH THOMAS A BECKET SCHOOL DELIVERS TOURNAMENT FOR GIRLS

Last Thursday (30th April), the club organised an eight team tournament for girls in school years 5, 6 and 7.  The event was hosted by Thomas a Becket school. The club ran the event on the day and provided goals, referees trophies and programmes.  The event was a great success and was eventually won by Orchards School.

The event was a great success and the intention is to make this an annual event. 

UNDER 11A TEAM WIN CHALLENGE CUP (19/04/09)

This afternoon, the Under 11A team completed a memorable double with the addition of the ACYFL U11 Challenge Cup to their Division B title which was secured last weekend. 

The game against Worthing Dynamos FC was a closely fought encounter which ended 1-1.  Neither side was able to find a winner in extra time and Town eventually won the penalty shootout 3-1. 

The parents and players of both teams ensured that the game, which was played at Arundel FC was played in a great atmosphere throughout. 

MINI-SOCCER CENTRE

 Starting 2009-2010, the club will be expanding and improving our provision for younger players through the introduction of our Mini-Soccer Centre on Saturday mornings at Chatsmore Catholic High School.  The Centre will host training sessions for all teams in the U6, U7, U8, U9 and U10 age groups.

We will be holding an Open Day/Taster session for prospective new players at Chatsmore on Saturday 9th May from 09:30 - 11:00.  This will be open to boys and girls who will be in school years 1 to 5 during 2009-2010.  Players will be able to take part in fun football activities while parents can chat to and get information from club officials as well as representatives from Sussex County FA and the Portsmouth FC Academy.
