Club member Neill Ricketts has set up a Facebook site for the Mini Junior Section.

There is one general page with Mini Junior Section information, open to all, and then each team has their own page: access is available only to that team’s players and their parents/guardians.

News about training and matches can be distributed speedily to the entire team so coaches having to phone around for hours. Players can can communicate within a closed network, and match reports and photos can be seen and downloaded.

Anyone without internet access please tell your coach so he/she can keep in phone contact instead. If you have internet access but are not computer-literate, I’m sure that your children will show you how to set a Facebook account. Failing that, ask Neill.
