Priority for School Activities

  MEMORANDUM: Children of School Age and School Games 

 One of the important aspects of games in school is the opportunity they afford of developing a pupil’s sense of loyalty and honour. It is therefore of concern when interest in games outside the school conflict with a pupil’s loyalty to the school and/or school organisations’ activities.

It is usually the pupil of outstanding Football ability whose services are sought by any Club, and the Player is most likely to be a member of the school or association team. While schools’ matches are often arranged on Saturday mornings and Club matches take place in the afternoon, it is considered that a player should not play in two matches on the same day,for the one match is likely to affect play in the other.

 We trust that all Players & Parents will understand that these points are to be enforced to protect the players welfare and will ensure that they can develop safely, and perform to their maximum.
