Ethos
Risborough Rangers coach girls and boys of ALL footballing abilities so if your child has never played but wants to come and have a go they will be made very welcome. Players benefit from qualified instruction using the latest soccer methodologies, We work using the FA 4 corners model and our football is closely modelled on the England DNA. Players will also learn individual skills and personal development as well as collective team development.
Football is about having fun and enjoying regular exercise. Helping players develop will also help to build self-confidence. We as coaches believe that everyone can benefit from playing the game and making new friends so come along on Saturday mornings and see what it’s all about.
Coaching Philosophy
Our FA-qualified coaches provide structured coaching sessions, designed to develop confidence, ability, and tactical awareness. We provide a positive, safe and fun environment and in return, we expect a willingness to learn and maximum effort.
The coaching team are all volunteers. They are all CRB checked and have completed FA Safeguarding and first aid courses. Two of our coaches are FA Level 2 qualified.
Training
Training is every Tuesday. From 3rd to 24th September 2024 we will be training from 6 to 7.30pm at Wades park. From 1st October we will be training from 6.15 to 7.45pm at RAF Halton, HP22 5PG. Training is not a ‘drop and run’ session – unless with prior agreement from one of the coaches.
Matches
We have two teams in the South Bucks Mini Conference, one in division one (red league) and one in division six (black league). Home matches are played on a Sunday in the Risborough area and selection is based on merit, attitude, teamwork and a commitment to attending training throughout the season. Match day squads are selected after training and communicated to parents on Spond. For home matches, subs are required (around £3), which covers the cost of the referee.
New Players
We are always looking for new players. Please send an email to the address above to ask for more information.
Parents
Parents must notify the manager/coaches of any medical condition for their child. Any child requiring medication during training/matches must have it within easy access at all times.
