SFA / ESSDA WINTER FUTSAL

Our U10s (2005), U11s (2004) and U12s (2003) are again participating in Winter Futsal sessions at the World of Football (Map) running until Sunday 15 February 2015.

The sessions have proved to be extremely popular and are an ideal way of keeping players fit & healthy until the new Soccer-Sevens season gets underway in March.

Our Coach Co-Ordinator and U11s Coach Billy McEvoy writes: "Winter Futsal is a great idea that the SFA & ESSDA have set up and, with the weather likely to be bad over January/February, it gives the kids the opportunity to keep playing football over the winter. The 04s have entered two teams which will give the kids plenty of game time and, with four or five 12 minute games back-to-back against different opposition, it is very exciting for the boys but confusing for the coaches!"

We've been receiving regular updates from our coaches, so keep checking our Facebook/Twitter pages and of course our free smartphone app for the very latest news!

 

Parking at Soccer City & World of Football - a message from ESSDA

"Please take care when perking at either Soccer City or World of Football. Both venues are very busy and there are lots of excited young footballers running around.
Please drive slowly and carefully and park sensibly.  Please do not inconvenience other parents / coaches by double / tripling parking and blocking entrances and exits."

 

He's Back!
U19s Coach Ross Anderson has returned to Scotland after a spell in the USA.
Here's his story straight from the horse's mouth (or should that be the Mustang's mouth?!) ...

I was in America this year (2014) from March until November coaching soccer for UK International Soccer. They work mainly at a recreational level across the U.S. and I was based out of the Mid-West - specifically Chicago. This was my 4th year doing this, however the first outside of the traditional 'summer camp' phase. I also got to work 'in season' based with one region for up to 9 weeks (spring and separately fall) helping to coach the kids and work with the volunteer parent coaches to improve their coaching also. I also ran coach education courses, both practical and theory, again to help the region to improve. I did my 4th summer camp period in between seasons, travelling to 6 states for weekly camps (Illinois, Michigan, Indiana, Nebraska, Iowa & Wisconsin - the last 3 were new for me) from June until the end of August. It's an incredible experience to travel and see so much of the country (some weeks were 10+ hour drives between camps). We stay with host families every week, and I think over the 4 years I stayed with 35 families - many of whom are now close friends. I've been to every major sport in America, 'American Football' being my favourite, followed by Ice Hockey, Basketball & of course 'Soccer'. Excited now I am home, especially being back amongst AC Oxgangs and the very talented U19s squad with Pete and Barry. I have my assessment for C Licence in January, after which, provided I pass, I will be looking to do my UEFA B after!

Well done Ross and we'll leave the final word to ACO Coach Co-ordinator Billy McEvoy ...
"Ross is surely an inspiration to a new generation of young players/coaches
and he'll hopefully motivate those who take gap years in their education
to think about following his example."
