THIS TEAM STARTED WITH A MIX OF AGES FROM 5,6,7 AND 8 YEAR OLDS, THE MANAGER AT THE TIME WAS MICHAEL POLLARD WHO IS NOW THE UNDER 10'S MANAGER. BUT THIS TEAM NEEDED TO SPLIT THE AGE GROUPS DUE TO GOING INTO THE LEAGUE.SO A NEW VOLUNTEER NAMED MICHAEL TAYLOR JOINED THE TEAM TO HELP OUT AND HE DECIDED TO TAKE THE YOUNGER PLAYERS AND TRAIN THEM WHICH HE DID FOR AROUND 12 MONTHS. IN THIS TIME THE PLAYERS STARTED TO DEVELOP INTO GOOD LITTLE FOOTBALLERS AND CONTINUED TO IMPRESS THE MANAGER IN THEIR FRIENDLYS. SO RATHER THAN THE TEAM MISSING OUT ON THE LEAGUE FOR ANOTHER 12MTHS BECAUSE THEY WERE ONLY UNDER 8'S AND THE LEAGUE STARTS AT UNDER 9'S THE MANAGER DECIDED TO TAKE A RISK AND PUT THEM INTO THE UNDER 9'S AT LEAST TO GIVE THEM EXPERIENCE FOR THE YEAR AFTER IF NOTHING ELSE.
I FEEL AS THE MANAGER THAT TAKING THE RISK OF PUTTING MY UNDER 8'S SQUAD A YEAR ABOVE THEIR AGE REALLY PAID OFF EVEN THOUGH WE WERE BEATEN MOST WEEKS THE PLAYERS LEARNED THEIR POSITIONS QUICK AND LEARNED HOW TO DEFEND MORE, BASICALLY BECAUSE THEY HAD TO. BUT BEST OF ALL WE STILL DIDNT FINISH BOTTOM AND EVEN FINISHED ABOVE OUR OWN CLUBS UNDER 9'S TEAM.
THIS SEASON COMING 2007/2008 WE WILL BE PLAYING IN THE UNDER 9'S AGE GROUP AGAIN AND THE MANAGER MIKE TAYLOR AIMS FOR HIS TEAM TO FINISH IN THE TOP 4 OR HIGHER SO CHECK BACK AS THE SEASON PROGRESSES AND SEE HOW WELL WE ARE DOING.
this valley team finished the league 2nd only 3 points off top. we were the highest scorers with 121 league goals. well done everyone, next year we'll win it.
