From coaching to first aid and child protection.Also recently qualified is Jamie Mcnamee who took his course at Haydon Bridge High School. Jamie will be coaching next's years under 9 team Well done to you all.
FA Charter Standard Some of our parents may not know what the Charter Standard is that we all hold so dear to our heart. This was born some years ago and it was created to raise the standards of all grass roots football. There are different levels of the award and currently we are on the Development Club stage. Only one better award to receive and that is the Community Club Award, this is in our development plan to be reached in 2012.
We will be letting everyone know of our progress as time goes on. In the past few seasons this has become a major part of the scene in grassroots teams and from next season they require all the teams they have competing in their leagues must have achieved a Charter Standard award. This will make them one of the first Charter Standard Leagues in the country. A vital part of the award is that each team must have at least one coach who has achieved a FA Level One award, this involves 8 to 10 sessions with qualified trainers and coaches learning about all aspects of the game. Also in this course there is a basic first aid qualification and a Child Protection Course. As well as this every member is checked by the Criminal Records Bureau. So as you can see a lot of work is put into the Club by all its coaches and officials. at the moment we have four coaches nearing the end of the latest course and although it has been hard work it has been enjoyable Many other coaches have the level Two award and some have even progressed to UEFA qualifications. There are other parts of the Charter Standard which we will explain at alater date. But if you have any question, we will try to answer at the drop in open night at the Wentwrth LC on May 6th
More news on all these trips coming soon.
Tynedale Under 9 Champions Pictured above our under nine greens who this week won the Tynedale League.The title was secured on Wednesday night with a 5-0 victory against Wylam Rockets. The greens have had an excellent season with a terrific run in the West Division under 10 trophy going out at the semi final stage against Prudhoe Reds who themselves look like they will win the under 10 league. But this win will certinly ease the pain for that disappointment. Coach Jamie's hair looks a little wet, was it raining that night or had he received a celebration dunking, good luck to the team as they now look to follow this on next season with the under 10 crown in their sights
These will be distributed as soon as possible, The weekly fight to fit training balls in to a mesh bag is now a thing of the past.
The Three Lions is an F.A initiative where disability and girls football is promoted in the comunity. We are involved in this by promoting under 10's girls by means of two of our coaches going to the schools and delivering sessions to the girls.
We hope to involve the Sele First School and Northumberland Sport have been in touch but nothing has been confirmed as yet. Jo Herbitson has been working at Broomhaugh and Terry Graham will be starting at Hexham East at the end of April. The course lasts for four weeks and the girls get an introduction to the game and of course Hexham FC. They also receive a certificate from Northumberland sport. We will be having a under 10 squad for next season and very soon we hope to be able to give contact details for this team. Next season the Club will be running four teams for the girls at under 10,12,14,16 this will be a real step forward for the Club and congratulation must go to Tony,Ranald,Jo and Sandra who have worked very hard with the girls and the strength in depth will really shine through. The performance from this teams are proof of their efforts

Tynedale Council commissioned a report on the condition of the Wentworth football pitch from an agronomist from the Sports Turf Research Institute, following the appearance of a series of holes in the pitch in the autumn. The pitch is maintained by Tynedale Council for Leisure Tynedale which manages the leisure centre and outdoor sports facilities.The report suggests that the holes are probably as expected due to the reduction in ground water level around the pool, and should stop now that this work has been completed.The report has concluded that the pitch needs more maintenance due to the level of use being made of it, including drainage and feeding, and also advises that play on the pitch should be limited to allow the grass to recover.A spokesperson for Tynedale Council and Leisure Tynedale said:
Check out the Dukes House Page for the full article regarding the Council's excellent contribution to the proposed development. reproduced by kind permission of The Journal & author Ben Guy
From Monday 10th September the club has a direct new email address. Please use this address to report scores/queries/website updates or news that would be of interest to the Club's ever growing website viewers. This can also be used in strict confidence to report any child protection issues which any club member would like investigating. This will be dealt with the Club's management committee and if required the Northumberland FA and relevant authorities. This we feel is an important step forward as a Charter Standard Club. Remember at all times you can bring any issue to the attention of your coach.
