What We Do
Stretton
Stretton Red Rovers
is a 'family like' football club designed to fill a gap in the
provision of matchplay opportunities in the locality of Church Stretton.
We run a training session on Tuesdays, straight
after school, from 3.30-5.00pm for Under 8s-Under 10s, and Fridays 6.00-7.30pm
for Under 11s-Under 14s (September-May inc) and Summer Soccer Sessions (open to
all) on Wednesdays during June/July from
6.00-7.30pm. We are currently running several sides and look set to
continue next season with the following teams depending on popularity and
availability (other options may be considered):-

Children need to be UNDER the age specified on
September 1st each season. e.g. 13th birthday on Sept 2nd = U13; 13th birthday
on August 30th = U14. We are always looking to expand our numbers and
accept new members/ players to run sides according to demand
and suitable supply of help (e.g. girls teams). We will continue to pursue
friendly matches, entry into local leagues and
cup tournaments to give our members continued opportunities
of receiving coaching and playing in football matches.

How We Do It
Our philosophy is to create match playing opportunities for those who
might otherwise go without that experience. We want to give everyone a chance to
develop their skills and experience - not just rely on a gifted few! This is why we ensure ALL
players have a chance to play, whatever their standard. No one
gets left out and pitch time is shared with everyone.
Our approach rewards commitment - anyone available to play and committed to the
team will be involved in the matches played wherever possible.

Parent Involvement
Parents are an essential element of the football club.
The club is run by a committee of volunteer parents who are elected annually at the
AGM in May. All member players are represented by parents at the AGM and are encouraged
to become involved in the running of the club. Help with transport to away
matches, encouraging attendance at training, help at coaching sessions or
managing a team, helping with events, joining
committee, fundraising and sponsorship, supporting matches, furthering the club and its
interests etc. are all ways you can help. Without your help we cannot achieve
all that we would like to so please step forward and volunteer.

Information
We pride ourselves on our communications with members/parents using this website
as the main tool. Parents regularly check the site for news updates - those that
are not internet enabled are contacted via conventional means.
We place the onus
on the parents to ensure they check for updates rather than relying on us to
contact all of them individually. The website also contains a Members Only
area which is password protected allowing us to display private information,
player profiles and photos.

Costs/Fees
In addition to guaranteeing matchplay experience we only charge a fee for
each match played (currently £1 per player per match) a 'pay as you play'
system. There is also a one-off annual fee of £10 per player which covers
registration with the club; relevant league; and
also the Shropshire FA and contributes towards insurance too.
Registering in June also entitles the player FREE
entry to our exclusive
Summer Soccer Sessions.
