A warm welcome to our Club there are no
strangers here,
Only friends.
Welcome to our Club!
If you are reading this having
just joined the club or are thinking of it then I hope I can briefly outline
our philosophy, aims and organisation.
Formed in 1996 we endeavoured to establish a football club to cater for all
ages and ability.
Our emphasis then, and indeed now, was based on
learning and enjoying our national sport.
We believe we have gone a long
way to achieve this 'goal'.
After a decade we have established a full spectrum of teams including a
nursery section up to a Senior 1st XI playing in the lower reaches of the
football pyramid.We aim to
provide a safe enjoyable environment in which children and adults of all
abilities can play football.
The club is proud to be an
F. A. Charter Standard Community Club,
the highest accreditation there is, and is affiliated with the Surrey FA.
The Club currently has 28 teams registered. We have players registered
to play from Under 7's, with teams in all the age groups up to our Senior
XI, with over 411 boys & girls and adults.
Participation by all club members and parents is actively encouraged at all
times whether it be through social functions or involvement in the running
of the club.

1.
Square balls across the middle --this is a definite
no-no in the defensive third. A square ball is the easiest
ball to intercept. It also implies lack of support behind
the passer. If an opponent incepts a square ball, the passer
and receiver must start their recovery runs from an equal
horizontal position. This gives the interceptor a head start
on goal, as the passer and receiver must recover from
greater distance.

2. Stopping the
ball
--players that "trap" the ball to a stationary position
are easy to target by defenders. If the defender is closing
down a receiver as the ball is arriving, the defender does
not have to change course or angle of run if the receiver
"stops" the ball. Also, a player that plays with the ball in
one spot often invites his teammates to go into hibernation
while they wait for that player to do something with the
ball. There are some very good distributors that can "hold
up the ball" until runs develop. Even though the ball seems
to be stopped with these players, it is actually being moved
in a very precise way.

3. GK
staying on the line --as attackers and the ball gets
closer to the goal line the goalkeeper must start to cut down
the shooting angles by moving out. If the GK moves too soon,
he may be open to a ball over the top. However, staying back
on the line is an invitation to shoot at a wide open goal.
In most situations, a GK should be at least 2 yards (younger
ages) to 3-4 (teenage and above) when the ball is in the
middle of the field and within shooting distance.

4.
Vertical support positioning --standing directly behind
or directly in front of a player with the ball is a problem.
Players need to support the ball at angles. If a on ball
player is going to drop the ball, he must turn 180 degrees
to get the ball back. With angled positioning it is only a
half a turn. Also, the angled pass changes not only the
vertical level, but the horizontal one as well. If a player
is directly in front of the ball, he will have trouble
turning and will not be open to the field. A player directly
in front of the ball carrier also takes up valuable space
the dribbler can go into.

5.
Allowing the attacker to dribble along the goalline
--attackers that get to the goalline must be kept wide.
Defenders that overplay or over commit against an attacker
that is wide can allow the attacker to dribble towards the
goal along the goalline. This destroys a defense, as passing
angles are created that will carry the ball away from the GK
and into onrushing attackers. This is similar to giving up
the baseline in basketball.

6.
Standing waiting for the pass --it is a flat out sin not
to go to the ball when under pressure.

7.
Receiving
the ball with the wrong foot
--players that reach for a ball on their left side, by
stretching there right leg across there body cause
themselves several problems. First, the support foot is
immobile in order to support the other leg stretch. Second,
the reception is with the outside of the foot or leg which
is a much tougher area to control a ball. Last and most
important, the player cannot immediately react to the touch
without several adjustment steps. Essentially, the ball is
stopped and the player stopped because the feet are not in
position to more.
