On the evening of Wednesday 4th the FA ran a three hour course on Safeguarding Children in football at the Bank of England attended by all Sheen Lions Managers and Assistants.
Though this course is a component of the FA level 1 coaching certification many of our Sheen Lions coaches also attended: taking the opportunity to refresh their certification.
Obtaing this certification for each manager is one of the final steps we need to take before submitting our Charter application.

A FANTASTIC performance and another trophy for the Under 12 squad. Over the Bank Holiday they won the Bournemouth Classic trophy in style beating 12 teams from all over the country.
It was also both a great thrill and honour for the boys to receive the Cup from Harry Redknapp and to see BERTIE lift the cup.
The U12 won 2-0 in the final against Ruislip Rangers with both goals from Scott.

On Saturday the U12s won the Claygate 6-a-side.
They started slowly at the league stage with two 0-0 draws with Wembley and Kingstonian but won the last game 1-0 v Netherne Falcons B side to qualify top of the group. Scott scoring the only Sheen goal of the group.
Goals were hard to come by and a 2-0 quarter final win v Brunswick (Luke x 2 – both penalties) put the U12s into the semi final.
The semi final v Bromley was the toughest game and a 1-0 victory (Ben M) was sufficient.
The final against Netherne Falcons “A” was one way traffic . Netherne are a good side having been champions of the Premier League this season but we totally dominated the game without finding the net. The game went into golden goal extra time and a great Ben M goal confirmed us as Champions once again.

After a long season the U14s went into their final match of the season against the current leaders and top scorers, Links needing to win by a three goal margin to beat them to the league title.
A strong performance saw Sheen run up a 5-0 lead with Links getting a late consolation the final score of 5-1 made Sheen Champions.
Well done.

Each League within Surrey County put forward one nomination for the County Fair Play Trophy. Surrey Youth League nominated the Sheen Lions U12 squad from the 2007/8season’s, Brian Robertson’s team.
With many teams nominated competition was high, however I’m delighted to announce that yesterday I was informed by the FA that Sheen Lions has won the County’s Fair Play award.
This is a huge testament to the team and its management, and also the club.
I couldn’t be more thrilled. Congratulations and well done Brian and his boys!!!!!!!!!!!!!

With the start of the new season and the establishment of the Club’s new website at
www.sheenlions.com please can I draw your attention to a number of matters concerning conduct and sportsmanship at matches:
1. The Club has a number of Codes of Conduct as well as Regulations. They contain important
guidance on behaviour at matches and the operations of the Club generally. They are
accessible from the website or copies can be obtained from the Club Secretary, Sarah Street.
All those involved in the Club are expected to be familiar with their contents.
2. The FA has launched a major new campaign entitled “RESPECT”. It is designed to promote
improved behaviour at matches, particularly towards match officials. The campaign is fully
supported by the Surrey FA and the Surrey Youth League. The Executive Committee of the
Club have committed to implement the recommendations for clubs which form a major part of
the campaign. As a result:
a. All managers have received “RESPECT” packs that contain FA codes of conduct that
all parents, players and coaches will be asked to sign up to as well as detailed
guidance about the campaign. The FA codes of conduct will now form part of the
Club’s own Regulations.
b. The Club will apply for and obtain funding for FA approved barriers for its home
matches. The barriers take the form of a tape attached to plastic stakes placed ideally
2 metres from the edge of the field of play. Spectators for both teams are asked to
remain behind the barrier on one side of the pitch whilst both teams’ managers,
assistants and substitutes will be on the other side. The system will be tried out over
the coming months and its success will be reviewed by the Executive Committee.
3. The Surrey Youth League operates an active system of monitoring sportsmanship. Those
achieving a high level of sportsmanship achieve recognition by being awarded
“Sportsmanship Award Status”. The status is reflected in the League literature and will result
in various financial benefits for the team concerned (e.g. waiver of application fees for the
following season and subsidies towards equipment). The Executive Committee expects all
teams in the Club to strive towards securing this award. Further details can be found in page 3
of the League handbook supplied to all managers.
4. The Club itself will be awarding a sportsmanship award on an annual basis. Further details of
this will be announced in due course.
With best wishes for a successful season,
Philip Marshall
Chairman
