When: Saturday 12th September, 1:45pm – 6:00pm Where: More O'Ferrall Park Cost: Free — no charge for this event
The idea is simple: a fun day where everyone in the club gets to play a bit of football and spend some time together, whatever age or ability — even if you haven't played in 20 years. This isn't just a training session or a match day, it's a celebration, and we want the whole club on the pitch across the afternoon.
How the day runs:
1:45pm — Under 6s skills demonstration with the coaches 2:15pm onwards — U7–U12 mixed games (roll on/roll off, youngest age groups first) Continuing on — U13–U18 mixed games (roll on/roll off) Later in the afternoon — Adult mixed match, open to everyone Around 5:45pm — Whole-club photo
Coordinators have been appointed for each of our groupings and are working with coaches to sort the format and numbers for their age group, so expect to hear more from your coach directly.
Please note times are subject to slight change, but we will do our very best to stick to the programme as far as is possible.
Expect a bit of craic along the way too — fancy dress, water balloons, and a few surprise twists are all on the cards for some of the games.
Food will be served from around 3pm, running through the afternoon, and we're asking as many families as possible to bring a homemade cake or treat for the table — the more the better!
Playing in the adult game? You don't need to have played before, or even be able to stay for the whole thing — if you can give even 5 minutes, we want you out there. Let your child's coach know, or if you're not otherwise connected to a team, email kildangan1925@gmail.com.
What you need to do:
- Tell your coach your child is going
- Tell your coach if you'd like to play in the adult game — even if it's only for 5 minutes
- Bring a cake or treat for the table if you can
- Just turn up and enjoy the day — no need to book
The more of you who let your coach know you're coming, the better we can plan the day — so please don't be shy about it, even a rough headcount helps enormously.
