FAQ
Does everyone get selected to play in matches?
Provided you attend training on a regular basis, team managers, especially at the younger age groups, will try their very best to give every players a roughly equal amount of time on the field of play. Older players tend to want to compete more so team selection may be more based upon effort, application and development
How much do the games cost?
All match fees are covered by the membership Subs. Referees for home matches are paid for by volunteers selling refreshments. We strongly encourage our parents to support the match day kitchen by volunteering or buying a cuppa and a hot dog after the game.
What kind of qualifications do the coaches have?
Each team has a FA Level 1 qualified coach as a minimum. That includes a Level 1 coaching certificate, CRC check, FA Safeguarding and FA emergency first aid.
Where do you train?
During spring and summer months we train at Allendale sports club grass pitches. During the Autumn and winter month younger teams train in Allendale sports Hall. The older teams train in various locations across Tynedale depending on what suits the team and coach.
On what days do you play matches?
Most of our junior teams currently play on Saturday mornings, our adult team play on a Sunday morning
Do your Coaches get paid?
No - all our coaches are volunteers. They do not receive a penny in return for their valuable time so kindly given. Coaching Junior football is very satisfying and rewarding.
Diversity Policy
We are delighted to welcome players of all gender, race and ability across all age groups. We usually start playing football in mixed gender teams. In fact, girls at young age groups tend to be better players than the boys.
How much are Subs?
Subs are £10.00 per calendar month from 1st September to 1st August inclusive for players registered to play in a team and £5 per month for players who simply train with us.
