Important news regarding sponsored dribble and training next week.

Just to let you know we have had to change the venue for the sponsored dribble,christchurch park is now having a big function on which we have only just been informed of.

We will now be doing the training session and sponsored dribble at Bourne Park,we will be meeting on grass area adjacent to the paddling pool. This is so we are close to the toilet area. You will be able to park at the bourne bridge entrance on the grass verge going down road leading to the park or park stoke park end and walk across.

A letter will also be given out at training to confirm all of the above. Sponsorship forms and money will be collected in the following week 20th July at Gresham's by the ladies at the entrance to the field. I'm sure we will have a fun time and don't forget you are welcome to stay afterwards to join in games such as cricket and rounders. So mum's and dad's bring your trainers.

Important Change to Tiny Rangers

Dear Tiny Rangers Parent,

Thank you for bringing your child or children to the Tiny Rangers Sunday Morning Soccer Club. We hope that your child is enjoying his/her football.

Due to the overwhelming success of the Sunday Morning Soccer Club we now have over 55 Tiny Rangers registered. Whilst it is fantastic that such a great number of kids are being introduced to the beautiful game, we are also conscious that with ever increasing numbers, our emphasis must remain totally on the Tiny Rangers and their enjoyment and safety.

With immediate effect we will now be capping the club and no longer accepting new members. This will ensure that our current Tiny Rangers enjoy a player/coach ratio of no more than 8 to 1. A waiting list will now exist for any newcomer wishing to join the club. New members will be invited to join the club when a player leaves or is absent for three consecutive weeks without advance warning.

The second but biggest change is to run two sessions, one starting at 9:45 for 5 & 6 Year Olds (sorry for the early start) and the other at 11am for the 4 year olds. By making this change we will offer a regular and stable coaching team of Darren and Gary, who each week will coach both sessions and will be assisted by our other coaches on a rotation basis. If you are interested in coaching and would like to get involved, please contact myself or speak to Darren, Gary or Andy on a Sunday.

The sessions must start at 9:45am and 11am sharp, so please arrive in good time.

Subs will remain at £2 per session.

I trust that you will appreciate that we have acted quickly to ensure our Tiny Rangers Sunday Morning Clubs emphasis quickly returns to the Tiny Rangers themselves. It was certainly a little manic on Sunday with space at a premium, new members swelling the size of the groups and our club at full stretch to provide coaches to oversee the session.

In total our club coached over 150 boys and girls from the age of three to ten on Sunday in one location which is unique for any football club in this area. We are totally committed to youth football and hope that the Tiny Rangers is the start of a long and enjoyable association with you and our fantastic club.



Yours sincerely


Mark Jordan

Chairman
Ipswich Valley Rangers FC

Various News & Tiny Rangers Waiting List !!!!!

The club would like to thank Christian Appleford from Apple Football School for the training session he put on for the club coaches on saturday. The club coaches were put through their paces doing lots of soccer drills that they can use over the coming weeks with the players.

Training again this week was a massive success with nearly a 150 players taking part within the sections. Its great to see so many children enjoy themselves in some a great environment,and we thank Greshams for providing such a great base to have our club.

We now have a waiting list for the Tiny Rangers club so please contact the club if you wish to join this. Anyone coming along now will only be disappointed and we dont want that to happen.

Please dont forget everyone the training session on 13th July will be normal time at Christchurch park. Details will be given to everyone before then to comfirm meeting point.

Sponsorship forms have been given out for the sponsored dribble that we are doing to raise money for the club and our chosen charity EACH.
