Sheffield & District Juniors Sunday League Weekly E-Newsletter
Issue 15
Welcome to this weeks e-newsletter. The purpose of the e-newsletters is to keep you informed of news and events within the league and the wider grassroots football community.
The newsletter is emailed out to all club secretaries on a Friday and now also appears on the website (www.junleague.com)
**LEAGUE NOTICES**
- Please remember all results have to be reported by 6pm on Sunday evening. Please send all the results to results@junleague.com. The earlier you report the results the better, as we have to send the results to the Star by 6.30pm
- Teams still involved in the U13 and U16 County Cups will need to let their registrar know as soon as possible if and when the next round clashes with a league match. Whilst blank weekends were scheduled into the League fixtures for the opening rounds, this is not the case for future rounds and League matches will need to be rearranged. The draw for the county Cups, when made can be viewed at http://www.sheffieldfa.com/FixturesAndResults/CountyCups/
- Redfearns have asked me to remind you that no one can take dogs onto the pitches at there ground.
- All club secretaries are reminded that when they have received a standard match card fine i.e. no sporting points they must contact the age group registrar with the missing details (as well as pay the fine).
- A reminder that clubs can bring forward league fixtures just let your age-group registrar know. If you find yourself with a blank week and also know that another team within your division is not playing please arrange to play your league fixture, as this will help everyone.
- Postal Strike: Please send in your match cards as soon as possible. The League is fully aware of the recent and pending postal strikes and will act with common sense with regards to late match cards.
**WELFARE NEWS**
A reminder that from next season (2010/2011) in order to affiliate with the County FA, all clubs in this league must have a named Welfare Officer, who has an ‘accepted’ CRB check via The FA CRB Unit and who has completed The FA Safeguarding Children and Welfare Officer Workshop. The Safeguarding Children and Welfare Officer Workshop have to be renewed every 3 years and must be valid at the time of affiliation. In order to assist clubs, please visit http://eventspace.thefa.com/sheffieldfa/participant/s.aspx which has details of the course on offer. Clubs who have not affiliated with the County FA cannot participate in this League.
Clubs need to send details of their club welfare officers to lisa.smith@junleague.com so the League can create an up-to-date database. Lisa requires your club welfare officer name, address, phone number and email address. The League will be putting on some events for club welfare officers in the near future.
