There are two under nine teams taking part in fixtures organised by Colchester and District Youth League, managed by Nick Runnacles (Blues) and Allan Rumble (Yellows). Nick and Allan will both be completing the FA Introduction to Coaching Football course this season and have already completed the FA Playmaker course. Both under 9 teams train on a Saturday morning at the Poor's Field, (8:30-9:30am Yellows).
Many players of both teams have enjoyed playing for the club since the academy, with new players also joining both teams this season. All of the children made great progress last year and will continue to be focusing on keeping the ball and improving their ability to dribble and run with the ball in both training and matches. They will also further develop their understanding of how to play as part of a team, something which will prove important now they are playing on a larger, 7 a side pitch.
