Dear Parent / Player,
May I take the opportunity to welcome you to DISCOUNT WINDOWS JUNIOR
FOOTBALL CLUB & DEVELOPMENT CENTRE, a Club built on the same building
blocks as the Club sponsor and financial backer The Discount Window
Centre. This young dynamic company owes its overwhelming success to
three key areas:
• A methodical and meticulously well organised, and disciplined
organisation.
• Excellent caring management surrounded by exceptional personnel.
• Solid financial stability.
The company already has sponsorship interests in motor sport and now
football. So why football? As well as Chairman to the Football Club I am
also the company director, a parent “of a young daughter and therefore
not building a team around a son” and a very keen football fan. This
combination as well as access to funding, puts me in a privileged
position to run a potentially highly successful Football Club.
My aim is to give the best opportunity to some of the more talented
young kids from the Liverpool, Knowsley and St Helens area who have an
appetite to further learn, master and enjoy the greatest kids game in
the world but are not yet signed to a professional club. Although this
newly formed club is ambitious and wants to bring home plenty of
silverware, the club strongly exercises the fact that football is also
about fun and enjoyment.
To help keep up the enjoyment as well as improve players technical
and social skills the club will be arranging plenty of social
activities, seaside style summer camp tournaments, presentation
evenings, local and International competitions.
In addition to the usual set up of Team Managers, Assistant Managers,
Coaches, I have recruited 2 of the most experienced people in Junior
Football to help orchestrate the operation.
Teaching and overseeing all training and coaching will be ex-Everton FC
Health & Fitness UEFA. B. Coach Jeff Leathley. Jeff is also qualified in
personal training, diet analysis & nutritional management as well as
other English FA certification for treatment and management of injuries.
We have also recruited as the clubs Director of Football Joe Makin
from the massively successful Reddish Vulcans Junior Football Club ( for
info purposes – www.reddishvulcans.com ), based in the Greater
Manchester area, and generally regarded as one of the most successful
Junior Football Clubs in the country. Joe is a very good friend of mine
and has over 15 years experience of Junior Football and who also holds
an FA Coaching badge. Joe has played and still continues to play a major
part in the success of Reddish Vulcans 18 team-empire. Joe has also seen
his own son grow-up through junior football and as a young teenage
prodigy is already on the fringes of first team professional football at
Morecombe. Joe has been appointed Director of Football for Discount
Windows Junior Football Club to advise the club on issues that will keep
the club on course to meet all of its aims and objectives throughout the
season.
I also hope that once more team have been put together that parents,
guardians and family members also get involved by replacing some of the
temporary committee members we have filled such as Club Secretary,
Treasurer, Press Officer, Tournament Organiser and Social Events
Co-ordinator.
The Club will also be encouraging Parents to gain qualifications
through the FA Football Development Programme and fund were necessary to
improve the depth and quality of our Coaching capacity.
We have facilitated the Club with the best training facilities and
equipment in the area and centrally located for players from the
Liverpool, Knowsley & St Helens surrounding areas. These sports
facilities offers a safe and clean environment, players will also have
the use of enclosed floodlit Astro turf and indoor gymnasium when
required for training and coaching purposes or when the seasonal climate
changes.
Each player will receive at NO cost, Full Playing Strips as well as
tracksuit and other sports clothing for training. Styling and
presentation of kits etc has been designed with IMAGE in mind. Special
players should look as well as feel special.
The Club operates under the English and County FA regulations as well
as the enrolled league, in which the clubs competes. All coaching and
management staff operate, and comply with the Child Protection Policy
Programme, has its own Code of Conduct for parents and players, supports
a strict “non bullying” and “kick racism out of football” policy. The
club also holds Public Liability Insurance.
Thank you again for your interest and support in Discount Windows Junior
Football Club.
Tommy Deacon.
Club Chairman and Company Director.
