August 2014 1 Club Overview MilnrowJuniors FC is a new and exciting junior football club, established in July 2014. The Club is built upon solid long term player development foundations, underpinned by the belief that new strategies are required to improve the learning environment for 4-12 year old children, the critical years for shaping a child’s successful participation in football. The Club is proud to have The Soccer Village, Milnrow as a base and are delighted to be in the position of providing football learning and playing opportunities to an estimated 100 youngsters every week. Every child, regardless of ability, is given the opportunity to improve whilst having lots of fun in the process. The learning environment is “informed” and coaching activities and sessions are connected to individual competencies and confidence boosting quarterly award ceremonies. The Club was affiliated to Manchester FA in July 2014 and are on trackto achieve the prestigious Charter Standard by the end of the year. In our first season we have entered a total of 7 teams into The Heywood and North Bury Junior Leagues. Milnrow Juniors FC
August 2014 2 Community Milnrowis a suburban town (pop. 12,500) within the Metropolitan Borough of Rochdale. Our Club has been formed to provide a footballing hub for the area, with the specific aim of attracting local children to get involved in football. Our new Club provides a pathway / development opportunities that children age 4-12years old can follow should they wish to take their game to the next level. All coaching sessions are age appropriate and feature two main components – Individual skill development and theme based SSG’s (small sided games). Skill is encouraged, developed and celebrated. This enables children to become confident and enthusiastic about the game. These individual skills are then applied in a team environment through the playing of lots of SSG’s, which offer more player participation, more touches of the ball, more passes attempted, more 1v1′s attempted, more goals scored & more goalkeeper participation. The Club is proud to be partnered with The Soccer Village, Everton Youth Academy, and most recently Huddersfield Town FC. Theseare exciting partnerships that ensure we are continually able to provide every child with the very best introduction to the game along withfurther development opportunities. Milnrow Juniors FC
