Advance Notice Please note that parents evening will be held on Monday 22nd March 2010 from 5:30pm onwards in the Studds Bar at Spotland Stadium. More detailed information will be published in due course. Castle Irwell Student Village Please note that the University of Salford’s Student Union no longer manage the facilities at Castle Irwell. The site is now managed by the University authorities. As a result of this change, the facility will not be open until 09:30am and should close at 12:30pm. This means that nets and corner flags will need to be erected on arrival and games will need to kick off on time. Any delay in the kick off will mean that playing time may have to be reduced in order to stay within this time frame. Please contact Colin McLaren if you have any queries regarding this arrangement. Information Regarding Child Protection Please note that the Club has been asked by the Football Association to circulate the following information to all staff, parents and players. A number of FA County Welfare Officers have contacted Rachel Tarr concerned about a website ‘Wannabe A Footballer’. This site offers the opportunity for any age range to set up a personal profile page, make scouts (identity unknown at this stage) aware of where and when they are playing. It also allows clubs to advertise for players. It appears this invitation to get involved with ‘Wannabe A Footballer’ has been circulated widely and there do not appear to be any reassurances regarding any safeguards that may be in place. Rachel Tarr has contacted ‘Wannabe A Footballer’ to ask to speak with them about these concerns, to date she has had no response. She has also asked CEOP to look into this. The FA will of course keep us informed of any outcome from this query. If you have any knowledge of information on this site please contact Colin McLaren. Injuries ALL PLAYERS must report injuries to their respective coaches to enable them to evaluate squad availability for the fixtures taking place each Sunday morning. Treatment and Assessment sessions will be held at the Soccer Factory each Tuesday evening from 6pm – 7:30pm and ALL the coaches are aware of this arrangement. Assessment and Professional Rehabilitation will take place each Friday evening at Matthew Moss High School, at the allotted times, for the specific age group listed below: 5:00PM – 6:15PM U9/U10/U11 6:15PM – 7:30PM U12/U13/U14 7:30PM – 9:15PM U15/U16 Please see the youth website for initial treatment of mainly soft tissue injuries as the first 24-48 hours are so important.
