I know that there was a few ladies trying to get a football team started in Thurso. they has the gym hall but Im not sure if they are still going.

I think a womans football teams would be good.. I think the best way round is getting training first then maye try and get into a small league like the Caithness 7s league first to make sure you have enough bodies to cover a team.

yes i do remember something about the ladies football in thurso i did get in contact with them but didn't hear any more about it, caithness 7's would be good but its getting someone to train and where? :roll:

Basically you need someone with a training certificate and someone who can provide first aid. Once you have this then all you need is to find a place to train which probably the best place would be is the games hall or gym in the high schools

When I moved up here 4 years ago I tried setting up a Ladies team. Got alot of interest but sadly not enough to hold regular training sessions.

I contacted the 7's league to see if we could join them. They would have been very happy for us to do so, but it never happened.

I also went on some coaching courses ran by Ross County.

Basically was lacking general support for a ladies team (no one was pepared to help, and those that said they would didn't), lacking interest (especially during winter, when cold & dark & wet), lacking a suitable training venue (we used the Bower School football field for free).

There were also issues of payment for a venue, but perhaps if we had joined the 7's that might not have been a problem.

Anyway, I'd be interested in joining a team if you get one set-up.

One more thing i might add that if you get the numbers then get a sponsor for a set of strips and hopefully they will provide some funds to go towards the costs of entering the 7's league.

Let me know if you want some help

hey there. im dc1's daughter and i would also like to play football. why dont you try some of the wick academy players or people involved as some of them have coaching certificates.

Moonboots
26-Feb-08, 21:08
Pretty soon theres going to be level 1 and 2 coaching sessions. im not sure how long this will be but I will let you know when i find out more.

Sandra
28-Feb-08, 20:33
I've done the level 1 & 2 SFA coaching courses, but wouldn't feel comfortable doing the coaching on my own.

You would need someone much more experienced than me.

29-Feb-08, 15:09
I have been asking around but still waiting for replys, hopefully someone will train us, thats good to know that you have level 1 & 2

I would get in contact with the Caithness Boys Football Association as they are arranging courses for coaching soon and maybe they could put someone through it for a small fee or either put you in the right direction.

Moonboots
02-Mar-08, 15:59
Im going to be doing my coaching course soon and might be able to help out if need be

Moonboots

where can you find out about doing coaching courses?

You would be better to contact the CAFA and they might be able to advise but I will try and find out a number and forward it to you.

I MOVED TO WICK 5 YEARS BACK AND HAVE BEEN WANTING TO SET UP A TEAM SINCE.

I PLAYED FOR 10YEARS FOR BURY LADIES FC AND HELP SET UP THE GIRLS ACADEMY WITH A LOTTERY GRANT.

I HAVE MY FA JUNIOR MANAGES CERTIFICATE AND USED TO COACH GIRLS AND BOYS 5-16.

I WOULD LOVE TO SORT OUT A LADIES...AND MAYBE GIRLS TEAM BUT NEED TO GET ADULT COACHING CERTIFICATES.

HAS ANYONE THOUGHT OF THE NEW ALL WEATHER AT WICK HIGH AS A VENUE. I KNOW OF A GOOD 7'S TOURNAMENT IN ENGLAND IN JUNE/JULY THAT COULD BE ENTERED IF PEOPLE ARE WILLING TO PIT THE TIME IN

If Sandra Is Still Interested In Sharing Coaching Then I Don't See Why This Can't Happen. I Was One Of The Few Who Went To The Last Attempt She Made.

I Also May Have A Sponsor In Mind

ashaw1
10-Mar-08, 16:42
Wouldn't bother me either, might be able to get a better venue that way.

10-Mar-08, 17:52

Wick10
12-Mar-08, 10:43
I don't mind paying at all, if any of you ladies have any friends who are interested bring them along to, the more the better ;)

Sandra
12-Mar-08, 13:05
I don't mind paying either.

so what is accually happing?
Is there a meeting?
Is there goin to b a fittness test?
No point bantering about it, and then for it to fall through.
Clearness is what is needed instead of folks loggin on and thinkin ermmm so is it yes or no, etc etc.

Sandra
14-Mar-08, 13:46
First the 'organisers/coaches' would need to get together to arrange a plan of action, coaching ideas, so that when everyone gets together first a first kick-about/training session, we're not just stood about wondering what to do, looking like fools.

It has to be enjoyable and fun, so that people will turn up the next time.

So I think it will be just a case of be patient and watch this space. Things will hopefully happen in next 2-3 weeks.

Sandra

It's for any ability. People will get fitter by playing.

If people offered to help, things might happen sooner.

If The Caithness ladies need me to do a website for them then give me a shout.

I have a new template you could use here?

Just wondered what was happening!

Sandra
02-Apr-08, 12:56
I've not heard anything back.

I'm only prepared to assist others in setting this up, and will not do it on my own (been there done that, never again!).

Looks like the idea may be shelved!

Any chance we could manage a kick about over this or next weekend?
Nothing complicated, just say a time and place and see who turns up?
