This was in the "Ardrossan" tonight, but i would like to add a bit of info re the raffle which Peter explained to me earlier.
We are having 3 "books", one for the Scotland, one for the Rangers and one for the Celtic tops as well as the general raffle. If anyone wants to sell tickets at work etc then sell specifically for which ever prize, make a note of the name, collect the money then inform Peter who will issue tickets for the appropriate jersey which you can take back to the customer.

Mags's Bungee Jump - 21.05.11
 |
Ladeside Lions Team Secretary Mags is going to do a Bungee Jump to help raise funds for both Ladeside Lions & Garnock Valley Youths. She will attend Xscape, Braehead, be taken 160ft in the air by crane and hopefully jump! Funds will help The Lions team this year as they go into their first season at 11-a-side competative football.
Garnock Valley Youths will benefit from new strips and entering tournaments for both teams over the coming months. Mags will need all the support she can get, (pardon the pun!), so if your not doing anything on Saturday 21st May come along to Xscape, Braehead at 1pm and watch a couch potatoe, 42yr old mum, who has a 'big' fear of heights, take the death defying leap, a whole 160ft of it!!
Feel free to make a flag/banner wishing Mags luck... she'll be needing it, lol!!!

Coaches In Service - Positive Coaching Scotland
KCFC held a coaches in service evening on Friday 29th May with John Brown (SFA South West Region Club Development Manager ) talking on the Positive Coaching Scotland project, followed by Craig Hamilton,
(Norht Ayrshire Football Development Manager) demonstrating the new skills programme being put out to the clubs as an integral part of their training sessions.
John emphasised that we as coaches should praise effort, setting the young players tasks to try in a game and encouraging them when they try even if not always successful.
Kids love to play, they love to have fun and enjoy it so we should not knock that enthusiasm by criticising, making sarcastic comments or giving negative actions.
We should build them up giving praise (truthful and specific), showing appreciation, listening to what they have to say about the game or their performance, and with positive actions from the side lines.
Honour the game, its rules, your opponents and the officials.
Craig showed a short video of the skills being piloted in the North region, then it was out doors to practice those skills ready to take back to the teams.
Side by side, diagonal attack, face to face, back to goal were all demonstrated.
Drag backs, step overs, twist offs, stop turns had some of the older guys in knots but the young ones coped no problem and these skills will definitely improve the level of play of your teams.
A great evening enjoyed by all who were there. Unfortunately a lot of you guys missed it. Training aids will be on line soon for this.

Childrens Football - Equal Playing Time
Friends,
Just thought I would send out a wee reminder for all clubs with teams playing Soccer 7 and Fun 4s.
I have witnessed a few games recently and was disappointed by the way the some of the teams used their players.
It is really important that coaches ensure that the players ALL get a fair chance to play. Each child should get equal playing time from week to week and over the course of the season.
It seems that many coaches are just playing what they see as their "best team" and using subs as token gestures at the end of the game.
Please remember that we are all trying to develop all players to their maximum potential and not just focus on winning games at this Primary school level. Remember that the "star" at 9 years old is not necessarily the player who will do the best as an adult. Players who may not be as able at young ages often develop later but can be unfairly denied that chance by coaches focussing purely on results at this young age.
If coaches make it clear from the start that all players will get their fair share of playing time then parents and players can have no complaints when it is their turn to be a sub.
Coaches that attended the recent Sevens or Fours in service days will know that the SFA and the leagues in which you play all advocate equal playing time.
Please pass on this reminder to all coaches particularly those at the younger age groups.
Regards,
JB

KCFC Ladeside Lions - sponsored walk - Sat 23.04.11
KCFC Ladeside Lions did a sponsored walk along Irvine beach this morning, walking in excess of 4 miles. They started at 10:30am, unfortunately the weather wasn't that kind to us, it was overcast on the way out, as soon as we stopped for a break & make our way back the rain came down in a steady fashion. Not deterring our youngsters, they continued on exploring their surroundings as they went along.
They are raising funds to help both go towards their presentation this year & a new away strip as they've grown out of their old one. Afterwards we headed to KFC in Irvine to treat the team for their perseverance today.
Thanks to the parents who assisted today, either on the walk or with transport getting all the team there & back again.
