U15s Cup Final

Thu, 10 May 2012 20:43:09 +0000

I would just like to thank everyone for any part they played in last nights cup final

Firstly to all the BJFL officials who ensured the game went ahead & their support throughout the evening, who i m sure were getting slightly worried as the rain started in the afternoon

To the trio in black, William , Rhys & Dan who all officiated superbly in very difficult conditions

To all the supporters who turned out on a very wet evening to add a great atmosphere to the game

& last but certainly no means least, both sets of players who gave their all & contributed to a very entertaining game. You were a credit to both clubs

Well Done to Alan & all the lads at Rolleston on a very deserved double

Yours In Sport

U10 footwear Season 2012/2013

Wed, 09 May 2012 08:35:31 +0000

Dear All

All U10's (season 2012/2013) playing at either Robert Sutton or Pingle will be operated on a 'training shoe' footwear policy ONLY.
Robert Sutton & Pingle have already issued The BJFL with a letter to all of it's users outlining this new policy. Should anyone arrive to play with anything other than training shoes they will not be allowed to play.
I would appreciate it if you could send this clear message our to all of your current U9 teams, so that parents do not purchaes any 'astro boots' etc in the close season.

New F.A proposal's

Fri, 27 Apr 2012 20:18:31 +0000

Thought this might be of interest to you all..

FA proposals for youth football – one step to go

Football Association plans for a radical overhaul of youth football in England are just one step away from becoming reality.
The youth development proposals include a revised player pathway focused on small-sided football – including new 5v5 and 9v9 formats – up to the under 12s age group and a child-friendly approach to competition up to under 11s.
The ambitious plans received the approval of the FA Council earlier this month, leaving just one more hurdle to negotiate – a vote by FA shareholders at the AGM on 28 May – before work can begin on implementing the proposals.
If 75% of FA shareholders approve the rule changes relating to the revised player pathway and new competition formats then they will become mandatory practice, being phased in from the youngest age groups from the 2013/14 season onwards.
The most controversial element of the original proposals – a de-coupling of school and grassroots football age groups to combat the Relative Age Effect – was omitted from the proposals put to FA Council, although the FA will revisit this issue in due course.
For Nick Levett, the FA’s National Development Manager for Youth and Mini Soccer and the man behind the proposals, the AGM vote represents the final hurdle of a two and a half year project featuring extensive research and a nationwide consultation procedure, including over 125 events and engaging over 4,000 parents and coaches.
“I think we’re in a good place,” Levett told Club Website. “I hope that we’ve done enough. This is the next 15 to 20 years of youth football we’re talking about here.”
“[LMA Chairman and author of the FA's 1997 Charter for Quality] Howard Wilkinson stood up at the Council meeting and said that this was the most exciting and aspirational piece of work that he’d seen the FA do in years.
“If he recognises that it’s the right thing to do for the development and support of young players in the game, then we must be on the right track.”
The omission of the Relative Age Effect element of the proposals represents the biggest change to the FA’s final recommendations published in January.
This exclusion, says Levett, was due to “some concerns around it being the right solution, so it was decided it was best not to take that forward.
“That doesn’t mean that it’s off the agenda. It’s still a hugely important thing that we need to address. We can’t pretend it doesn’t exist, but maybe that wasn’t the right solution.”
Levett concedes that, were it down to him, the proposals being put forward to FA stakeholders might look slightly different, but he is happy that they represent the views of the majority of the grassroots community – the very point behind the FA’s extensive consultation.
Whilst the original plans may have been whittled down, the two proposals being put to the vote on 28 May still represent the biggest change to youth football since the introduction of mini soccer in 1999 – and they arguably go way beyond that.
If voted in, for the first time ever children will only begin to play on full size pitches at under 13s level while, for teams up to under 11s, the traditional league format will be replaced by three six-week ‘trophy events’, allowing all teams to play ‘competitive’ football for 18 weeks of a 26 week season, rather than all compete for a single league trophy over an entire season.

Dear All
Last Wednesday the BJFL website (www.bjfl.uk.net) had a virus, this was removed early on Thursday morning and the site is now 100% safe, however Google (in their wisdom) is still reporting the site as a potential threat and if you use a Chrome browser then you will get a warning page advising you of the potential threat, but you can use the 'proceed' link and you will be taken to the website.
I am waiting for this to be removed from the Google threat database and have no idea how long this is going to take..
Please can you communicate this to all of your members.
Thanks

Coache's rule

Sun, 15 Apr 2012 15:45:46 +0000

Watched my son Ref a youth game & I was appalled at how the coach reacted against a decision that he didn’t like. All through the game he tried to belittle the ref with every decision he made. If the decision went against their team all you heard was hollowing (like Hippo’s at a watering hole) from the touch line showing a lack of maturity and then he applauded after every decision that went their way! But after watching Neil Lennon, after the Celtic game I CAN SEE NOW THAT THIS IS THE NORM these days. Keep it going coaches & you’ll have no Refs soon.
I think that from next season (the Parents if under age) or the Ref should mark the teams & parents on how they behave & not just the other way round.
By the way I saw a lot more mistakes by his team than I saw from the ref.

Repton Linesman- fair play

Sun, 01 Apr 2012 17:38:13 +0000

I would like to congratulate the Repton Linesman in our game today.
One of our goals today: the ball was flicked on to towards 2 of our players, one was 2 yards off-side one was on-side, he wait to see which player attacked the ball, surfice to say the on-side player score a good goal thanks to the linesman.

In the matches this season, It is really difficult for linesman, the boys are getting older, wiser and above all quicker, the laws also mean the confusion sometimes reigns. I have had linesman say to me that 2 players were offside when only one has touched the ball, how can this be?

I have read topics in the past years in how to educate linesman, talking about linesman courses, but how do we best drive this forward. Any ideas?

This is my 2nd post on this matter, congratulating linesman the its a thankless task, but it was expertly carried out by the Repton linesman, thank you again.

Respect marking next season

Wed, 21 Mar 2012 12:41:47 +0000

Dear All
FT introduced a new feature yesterday, Respect marking for Teams (that we hope to implement next season). Basically it will let managers mark the opposition on the following questions:

Were Respect barriers/areas used during this match? (Yes or No)
Did the Respect handshake take place? (Yes or No)
Behaviour of players from opposition? (1-5)
Behaviour of supporters from opposition? (1-5)
Behaviour of coach/manager from opposition? (1-5)
Overall behaviour at this match (both teams)? (1-5)
Your team's overall enjoyment of this match? (1-5)

What I don't want to do is implement something that team are not going to take seriously. Yes it will take the manager a few minutes longer to complete his matchsheet (as this will be presented before they fill in their matchsheet)

Additionally as a League we can include our own questions: For example:

Did teams exchange player-ID sheets
Were the changing rooms clean
Did the home team provide half time oranges

ETC

Do you think this would have any advantages etc

Feedback welcomed & appreciated.

U7's at this summers tournaments.

Mon, 13 Feb 2012 20:38:40 +0000

I don't think I'm on my own in this confusion but there appears to be a debate around the rules and regulations of running U7's groups in this summers tournaments. Belvedere came across this first I believe and moved their tournaments date to cater for it. I have queried with Derbyshire FA and my interpretation is that you cannot run an U7 non competitive group unless your tournament is on or after the 1st July which is the effective start date of next season and of course next season is when U7's groups are introduced.

I see that there are 2 other clubs promoting U7's groups who's tournament dates are before 1st July so I could be wrong. If anyone else has an angle on this please post.

Sunday July 8^th 2012

Belvedere Park Junior Football Club would like to invite your team to its Annual Soccer Tournament, at The Marlpit Football Ground, Shobnall Leisure Complex, Burton-on-Trent, Staffs, DE14 2BB, on Sunday July 8th 2012.

The age groups we will be running at the Tournament are –

Under 7’s, Under 8’s, Under 9’s, Under 10’s and Under 11’s. (All age groups are as per season 2012-2013).

Under 7’s and Under 8’s
As per current FA guidelines, the U7’s and U8’s will be non-competitive and therefore results will not be collected from these matches, nor will trophies/medals be presented to these teams. We will be introducing the new FA proposals for U7’s and U8’s at the tournament whereby all matches will be played on a 5-a-side basis on smaller pitches. We will also be introducing two other FA proposals at the tournament,

Opposing teams retreat to the half way line when the goalkeeper has the ball. Hopefully this will encourage teams/goalkeepers to play out through their defence, rather than just hoofing the ball.
All throw-ins will be under arm. This will give players better chance of controlling the ball at foot height rather than chest or head height.

Under 9’s, Under 10’s and Under 11’s
The format for the Tournament will be the same as previous years, whereby each age group will be contested on a Round Robin League basis. All matches will be 7-a-side and played to current FA mini-soccer rules.

Entrance Fees for the Tournament : U7’s and U8’s - £15.00 per team, U9’s, U10’s and U11’s - £25.00 per team. (All entrance fees are non-refundable).

All matches will be officiated by qualified referees.
There will be no limit to the number of players a team can bring on the day, although there will be a maximum of 3 substitutions allowed per game, to ensure continuity of the game. We will however only provide up to 10 trophies per team, for the Winners and Runners-Up of the League in each of the age groups from Under 9’s - Under 11’s.
Providing we have the required teams entered into the tournament, all teams will be guaranteed 7 matches on the day.
Each age group will be contested over either a morning or afternoon session, so as not to tie up a full day for parents and players. You will be informed whether you are playing in the morning or afternoon session, once the closing date for entries has passed.

If you are interested in entering a team(s) in the Belvedere Tournament, please complete the attached application form and send it with your entrance fee to the address shown on the form. Places will be allocated on a first come, first served basis.

Further tournament information will be posted at regular intervals on the Belvedere Park Junior Football Club web site at www.BPJFC.co.uk and on this forum.

Thank-you for taking the time to read the invite and hopefully, we will look forward to seeing you at the Tournament.

Parking at The Albion

Mon, 30 Jan 2012 06:13:49 +0000

Dear U8 Manager/ Parent

I have received yet another complaint from the Manager of The Albion Pub that is currently being used and abused by U8 parents. Parents seem to think that it acceptable behaviour to clean their child's dirty boots in the car park of the pub and then drive off leaving a pile of mud where they were parked. This is downright rude and totally unacceptable behaviour. Can you imagine if I turned up at their house and cleaned a pair of muddy football boots on the drive way or front step, I doubt they would be too pleased.Should we be able to identify car registration numbers and individual team colours we will be taking further action.If we are able to identify individuals then these players will be de-registered with the BJFL and I will taking action against the individual teams/Clubs.
I suggest you get this message to ALL of your parents TODAY and forewarn them to stop this mindless behaviour.

First Aid Course

Wed, 30 Mar 2011 15:59:19 +0000

Three years ago I arranged Level One Courses through Staffs FA for over 200 coaches in the BJFL. Many coaches will now have their First Aid and Child Protection coming up for renewal. The CP can be renewed online and hopefully you'll get a reminder, as I did, from the FA. It costs �10

To renew your First Aid you need to attend another workshop. Staffs FA are willing to arrange one at Shobnall if they can get a minimum of 12 coaches. They can do up to 24 and we have already taken 6 places. If you want to attend this refresher, please send me an email (garydunne33@sky.com) so I can then go ahead and ask Staffs FA to set one up. There isn't a date yet as they need me to assure them I have at least 12 names (should be at least 48 due this June/July?).

Your Level One qualification will expire if you do NOT do your Child Protection and First Aid Refresher. If you allow this to happen you can NOT manage a team in the BJFL next season as the BJFL are a Charter Standard League and their requirement is all clubs to be Charter Standard. The Charter Standard requires clubs to have all of their coaches to have a qualification.

Coach required

Mon, 14 Mar 2011 14:45:53 +0000

Newhall FC are looking for a new coach to take over from our existing academy coach in the next couple of months.

Our academy has seen many players move on and into our teams that play within the BJFL and is open to players aged 7 - 13, both boys and girls.

At present they train on a Friday night at Pingle, but will soon move outdoors to our training facility at Oversetts Rd. The night of training for the academy will be flexible.

We are looking for someone to join us and ideally run alongside with our existing coach with the aim of taking over in June.

Again, ideally we would be looking for someone who is already FA level certified with associated emergency aid and child welfare, and CRB checked.

We are however willing to put interested and selected parties through these courses with the right level of commitment from the individual.

If you are interested or want to know more please contact:

Chris Barlow
Newhall FC committee member
