Player Registration From Mid July 2018

To play for one of our teams in the Surrey Youth League players first have to Register with Sheen Lions. You will receive an email invite to Register and enter your details into our on-line form. After this, once you have paid your fees you have completed registration with the Club.

The Club will then register the player with the Surrey Youth League. To do this we need from you two passport quality photos and both the player and a parent’s signature on a Surrey Youth League registration form. If you are new to Sheen Lions we also need a photocopy of your Proof Of Age document. Detailed requirements for all these documents are explained in the Registration Guidelines attached to your email invitation.

There is an initial intensive stage to establish the teams during which signatures and photos are collected by your manager onto a single SYL Team Registration document. The Club Secretary then takes these documents to a “Registration Evening” clinic to be accepted and processed by the SYL. It is a considerable amount of work to prepare all these documents so that they pass scrutiny and this is why it is so important that people deal with registrations quickly.

Fees

Please make sure you settle your fees at the time of registering. The fees are the only real commitment, and without commitment Sheen Lions cannot in turn commit to the resources such as coaches and training facility hire that are needed.

If you are unsure whether you have paid login and check your own bank account, please do not ask us to check our account to save you this work. Of course we will at some point let you know if you have overlooked fees.

Age Group U6 and U7

These age groups are not registered with the League and so do not need to do anything other than register with the Club and pay their fees.

Age Group U8

Age group U8 will registered in September. At the start of September you will be reminded to prepare your Photos and copy Proof of Age. You will have to bring these and a parent to Saturday Training to hand in when you sign the Team Registration sheet.

Age Groups U9 and Up

For age groups U9 and up Team Registration Documents have now been submitted.

Now that team registrations have been submitted there is a different process to Register a player with the Surrey Youth League. You will have to follow this process if you are now registering with the Club or if your manager has informed you that you were not registered with the rest of your team.

Parent and Player have to sign an Individual Registration Form. You need to print a copy, sign it and send it with your photos and copy proof of age directly to the Club Secretary. Detailed instructions are on your Registration Confirmation email that you receive after completing your Sheen Lions registration.

The Surrey Youth League does not release the form and will not process Individual Registrations until Mid August so you might have to wait to send those documents in. HOWEVER you should not delay in entering your Sheen Lions Registration or paying your fees. We need this commitment from you otherwise we may allocate your place to someone else. This is why the invite says “reply within 10 days”.

Age Group U18

There are special arrangements.

 

Football Boots Wanted 2018

Parents

Once again we are supporting Lord Taveners in their effort to collect unwanted football boots. They ensure they are donated to deserving causes both in the UK and developing countries.

I’m sure with the new season coming, and the boys growing all the time, new boots will be bought. Please donate your old ones. All sizes are welcome.

We just ask that they are in good condition and CLEAN please!!!

If you can do this BEFORE you disappear on holiday it would be really helpful but it should be no later that the end of July so we can meet The Lord Taveners deadline for collection. We have extended this into September.

You can drop them off at the following address on your travels. Please put them in the white cupboard in the side of the house.

16 Stanley Road
East Sheen
London SW14 7DZ

Many thanks

Sheen Lions U7 Manorcroft Tournament 2018

The U7’s played in the Manorcroft Tournament on Saturday May 26th.
I’m gutted I can’t tell you the results due to it being non competitive but what I can tell you is that Anthony & I were very proud of the boys especially after my request to put them into a group of league players.
When the other managers found out that we were not in a league they were astonished.
“I chose to play against league players to challenge the boys & they passed with flying colours”. 

The future is bright for this age group. A big thanks must go out to their coaches James / Matt / Anthony & Alex.

Sheen Lions U12 Win Their Division

 

The group started off the season having brought in the Pride to the Lions to form one large squad; this meant every boy had to play his part on and off the pitch which they did impeccably.

The boys fought hard all season in what was an very evenly matched and competitive division keeping up with the pack at the top all the way to the wire. In the last four matches we beat the top of the table team twice and drew with Barnes Eagles Colts to take it to the last match of the season where we won 3-0 to take over and win the division.

Sheen Lions U14 Pride Win Their Division

On Sunday 20th May Sheen Lions Pride U14 were awarded the SYL Division 3 Shield and medals for each of the players.

The team is made up of 17 players; half of whom are long term Sheen Lions boys and half who joined at the beginning of the season. Gareth their coach has done a great job over the course of the season is shaping a strong squad that delivered some impressive stats; the boys scored 71 league goals, only two lost league matches across the entire season, conceded only 24 goals and won the league with a 7 point lead. And thanks to Sheen Lions for donating money for goals they raised £50 for Children in Need.

Development Football Plans For 2018-19

Parents

With the season officially now at a close our attention turns to next season.

U6 -> U7

The current U6s will move up to U7s and will spend the season training and learning the game. Round Robin events will be organised for them.

U7 -> U8

The club plans on running three playing squads. These will be children that we think are ready for match play. They will start match play with the League after the October half term and can play for any U8s team. Further players can join and train with us, and will be officially registered, allowing eligibility to play League football, subject to selection, as and when the opportunity arises.
In order to run the 3 planned squads we need volunteers to be managers. Ideally two people running a team works, so we’ll be looking for at least 6 volunteers. If more volunteers come forward we will run more than 3 squads. If you think you can run a team please contact Sarah.

U8 -> U9

Teams move up to play 7 v 7 at U9. The club will run three playing squads and players can play for any U9 team.
Further players can join and train with us, and will be officially registered, allowing eligibility to play League football as and when the opportunity arises.

U9  -> U10

Teams continue to play 7 v 7. The club will run four playing squads and players can play for any team.
Further players can join and train with us, and will be officially registered, allowing eligibility to play League football as and when the opportunity arises.

U10 -> U11

Teams move up to play 9 v 9. Existing U10’s teams will merge to give us two or three squads depending on numbers.
Next season will be their last playing non-competitive football, so children will still be able to move across from one team to the other as they develop and progress in readiness for U12’s when the football then becomes competitive.
Further players can join and train with us, and will be officially registered, allowing eligibility to play League football as and when the opportunity arises.

Selecting The Squads

Managers and coaches have continuously observed and assessed players through match play and training and decisions will be made regarding squads for next season over the coming weeks. That’s not to say squads are set in stone. Players will continue to approach the club and we will continue to give every child the opportunity to trial for a place.
Children attending other activities on Sundays should not sign up with Sheen Lions. The club expects players to be readily available to play on Sundays if selected. If a player is repeatedly unavailable, the club will de-register the player.
Managers will use the Summer Soccer Six as an opportunity to assess players. History tells us that new children will sign up for it, in the hope of gaining a place at Sheen Lions, so as always competition is high for a squad place. If possible existing players should sign up for the Summer Soccer Six if they intend to continue with the club.
If your child has friends wanting to join in, pass on the details of how to sign up.
It is important to remember that from U8s – U11s the League programme is non – competitive and allows clubs to move children from one squad to the another freely. So, one week a child may play for Pride, the next Hoops, the next Lions etc. This freedom of movement means children are not anchored into one team where they may struggle or alternatively may be not playing to their full potential. What matters is that they are Sheen Lions players, within their age group, and can develop at their own pace. This is development football and our aim is find the right level for individual players.
If you have questions feel free to approach Mel Atkins (Head of Mini Soccer ) or your current manager or myself, at training.
Here’s to a roaring 2018-19 season.
C’mon you Lions!!!
yours in football

Sheen Lions Registering For 2018-19

The season is almost finished and the next season does not kick of until 9th September but we are now entering a period of intense work to get the teams set up for next season. It seems strange but this all has to happen in June and early July and it is a huge amount of work for Sarah and the Managers and Coaches. You can help by doing what you are asked to do as early as you can and certainly by the date asked. Note that Sarah has to work towards the various deadline dates set by the League to establish teams for next season. We might be sympathetic to any reason you have for being late but it makes no difference, if the train has left without you then you missed it and we have to work out a way to fix the mess and that is extra work that is not needed and will probably mean that you will not be registered in time to start the season. Remember that this Club is run by unpaid volunteers so please do your bit by doing things on time.

For U5 to U11, invites to register for Summer Soccer Six have been sent, see the Soccer Six post for details. Even if you cannot do the sessions you will need to respond to indicate that you wish to continue next season. If you do not respond you will no longer be a Member and we will have to remove your data. Note the SS6 uses the 2017-18 age groups, but of course registration for next season will use the 2018-19 age groups. It can be confusing.

Current U12 to U18 players need to let their Manager know if they are continuing to next season now. I am expecting lists form Managers soon to begin registration for next Season. When you get your invite to register PLEASE deal with this quickly so that we spread the administration load and do not waste our time chasing people.

If you are thinking of joining Sheen Lions for next season:

  1. If you will be an U12 or older in 2018-19 you should urgently contact one of the managers for the age group and ask for an opportunity to trial. Contact details are on the team pages of this site, but note that these are using the 2017-18 age groups until August.
  2. If you are an U11 in 2017-18  or younger then you should sign up for our Soccer Six, after June 23rd however you will have to wait and contact us at the start of September.
