@IainMerc@ScotFASouthEast @kmcconnell86 @HAFCYouth Thanks @IainMerc
It’s great to see the club thriving.
We are lucky to have so many great volunteers doing the miles on the training pitches with the kids. It is also great to be part of a strong, unified committee.
Introducing Scoreboards is a great way to maximise engagement, praise effort and embrace healthy competition in children’s football 🤝⚽️

QUALITY MARK
Congratulations to @HAFCYouth on gaining their Platinum Quality Mark 🎉
The club have progressed massively over the past few years and fully deserve this recognition of all they now offer their community and the wide impact they have.
Well done to all involved 👏
@BCDFootballPod Maybe make the third division slightly bigger and increase promotion and relegation numbers,
Or at a certain point in season, say 4-6 games to go, top 2 lowland, top 2 west, one highland, one south, bottom two in third, play two mini leagues of 4, two winners go 3rd division
@BCDFootballPod Enjoying the new pod gents, your knowledge of non league football and insight into things like structure etc is interesting.
I am a Haddington man and have been so impressed with them coming up and challenging top six.
Do you think the lowland league has to many teams at 18?
🚨One of the largest youth leagues in the country has today put the following statement out to all member clubs. ⤵️
"The behaviour and conduct of far too many players, managers, coaches, and spectators is the worst we have ever seen in the history of the Northumberland Football League.
The discipline reports coming in over the first 10 weeks of the season, just to Northumberland Football Leagues, have given us and the County FA an incredible amount of work, on top of everything else we do to keep you playing football.
I am not going to lecture adults on how they should behave, it's not my job to teach you the difference between right and wrong, but what I will say is THIS BEHAVIOUR STOPS, AND IT STOPS NOW!
Starting from Saturday 18th November, any team found guilty of any discipline, welfare or misconduct charge WILL BE REMOVED FROM FIXTURES. If those fixtures include cup/competition games, then you will forfeit your place in those competitions.
Teams playing at central venues where parents are found to be acting in an unsuitable manner, verbally or physically abusing/ shouting at a referee, steward, league official, venue staff or opposition coaches/managers, the club in question will have EVERY PARENT/GUARDIAN/SPECTATOR from every team banned from every central venue.
This is children’s football - there is no place for abuse of any type - if you cannot watch a group of children playing football without feeling the need to abuse/shout at a child be they a player or a referee, or you cannot spend an hour and a half without swearing at the opposition coach or confronting a group of parents - then please ask yourself if you have chosen the correct way to spend your weekends.
We are a Respect League and Respect towards players, the officials and each other is the minimum standard which we will accept - NO RESPECT = NO GAME."
For and on behalf of the league management committee,
Lee Scott
League Secretary
