The continual growth of our successful Development Centre was recently boosted even further by a visit from Reading FC players, Simon Church and Alex Pearce, along with Reading FC's Senior Scouting Co-ordinator Tim Pink. The evening started with a short introduction and an interesting question and answer session. This was followed by Simon and Alex joining in with the warm up and leading a shooting session , before finishing things off by signing autographs. It was a great evening which was enjoyed by all parents, players and coaches and something we hope to do again at some point in the future.

 

ASC Ltd would like to congratulate Lachlan Beggs on being selected to represent Gloucester in a 3 v 3 competition held by Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium which had teams from all over the UK and Europe attending

"The work Lachlan is doing at the Advanced Sports Coaching Development Centre has played a massive part him in achieving this."

Thanks, Mark and Lachlan

 

 

Development Centre Easter matches at Reading FC

Over the Easter break around 50 of our Development Centre players travelled to The Dome, which is Reading FC's multi million pound training centre.

This time around we took U7's, U8's, U9's and U10's to test them in match situations against other Reading DC's. All of our teams performed brilliantly, showing a lot of the techniques and skills we've worked on recently in training.

Again, the Academy staff commented on the standard of our players which has led to 2 more players being invited into the Elite Centre for trials.

 

ASC Youth FC achieves Charter Standard!!!

ASC Youth FC has just been informed that it has been granted the prestigious FA Charter Standard Award. This is something the club has been working tirelessly to achieve over the last 6 months and has come as a timely Xmas present for the club.

Well, done to all committee members, managers, players and parents who have helped to make this possible!!!

 

Reading Academy

As part of our Development Centre programme we took our U8 and U9 players along to the Reading Academy to play against some of the trialists and Academy players.

It was a great day out with the U8's playing in the morning and the U9's in the afternoon. The standard was very high and all of our boys showed they could compete with the Reading boys which was great for us to see.

Joe and I are confident that the players we've had in the centre have progressed since they've been with us. This has been proven by the fact that 3 of the boys who played at Reading have now been invited into the Academy for further trials.

Regards Nick

 

End of Season BBQ/Fundraising Event

Saturday 18th July saw us hold our annual End of Season BBQ/Fundraising Event and this years event turned out to be even better than last year!

The day started with the usual Dads v Dads match, which this year was won by the U7's dads. There were lots of other events going on including several stalls, a raffle and a penalty shoot-out against the coaches, which even the mums couldn't resist having a go at!

All in all it was a fantastic day, made even better by good weather and the fact that the day raised £235 for the club.

Thanks to everyone who attended and here's looking forward to doing all over again next season.

 

Thanks to everyone connected with our club who attended the Broad Town School Fete where we held various stalls, including 'Beat the Goalie', 'Football Target Shooting', 'Coconut Shy' and 'Nail Painting' which helped raise a massive £4389 for the school. Also well done to our members who entered and completed the 5 mile fun run, see you all again next year!!!
