London Scottish FC : Coach's Notes

Two games in and the challenge of the new National 1 league is apparent. We always knew that the first 4 games would be tough and a steep learning curve for players and coach's.

Last Match

This weekend the challenge does not get any easier with Launceston who have had a good start. Unlike last year we know we must be at our best every weekend if we are to compete.

Having now been given my own programme notes, and very honoured I am too! It provides me with the opportunity to explain and outline some of the processes being put into place to develop the ONE CLUB process. The history and the heritage along with the ambition of London Scottish is what really attracted me to take on the role, but not just the ambition of the senior part of the club, the whole club........ONE CLUB. Last year it was the club that got promoted not just one team. Not many clubs have a comprehensive mini, junior, social, senior and community program working together. Here is the vision, a seamless pathway of development, tracking, performance and enjoyment from 7 upwards.

One part of the ONE CLUB process is the Masterclass held prior to the game by myself for mini age groups. I really enjoy this opportunity to coach the young players and talk to the coach’s. It brings the club together in a simple way, as the young players get to experience the match day experience. It also acts as a good recruitment tool as players can invite friends to attend the masterclass and see what London Scottish is all about and sign up on a Sunday.

Apart from meeting the young players and them putting a face to a name; the process is important for me developing the relationship with the age group coach’s. They have to inform me the areas they want to work on in the session and I plan accordingly. This makes the session meaningful and not some sugar shot one off. This session is then debriefed at the coach the coach session the following week.............for another day!

That then leads me to thank the u6 / u7 players parents and coaches that took part in today’s masterclass.

With the renewal rates for the 2010/11 season now confirmed and the form available to download from the membership page, LSFC is putting on an exclusivity period on the season ticket applications for those season ticket holders from the 2009/10 campaign - to be able to choose their seats in advance.
