There are two under nine teams taking part in fixtures organised by Colchester and District Youth League, the blues, managed by Simon Loft (an FA Level 1 coach), and the reds, managed by Gareth Minter (an FA Level 2 coach and a primary school teacher). Both teams train together on the Poors field every Saturday between 10:30 and 11:30.
In our third season of organised football our main priority continues to be children enjoying playing football. Children are still being asked to focus on keeping the ball and improving their ability to dribble and run with the ball but also now thinking about when is the right time to do this and for how long, or when they may need to pass, as the pitch now increases in size. Children will begin to understand about what playing in different positions on the pitch means, while all being given the opportunity to play a variety of positions.
