New season 2009

Welcome everyone to another year at Doha Juniors Football Club (DJFC). We are proud to welcome back many families that have been with us for several years now, and looking forward to meeting the new parents and kids. Last week we had our first practice and all went well. We have a good number in each group but there is space still available in all the groups. I would like to see more in the 10+ group so we can setup games against other teams around Doha this year.

Our coaches are separating the teams into smaller groups to give the players the most contact time with the ball. To make this work we need parent support to referee games between 4 to 6 players (2 on 2 or 3 on 3). Practices also include skills development and game situations, this gives players the chance to improve and practice what they have learned.

The weather is getting to be just perfect for practices but you still need to bring lots of water. I will bring a cooler of water to share if the kids run out and there is a water cooler at the pitch if they need more.

Thanks for all the support over the last 4 years, if you are enjoying it tell your friends and have them come out and practice with us. The more kids we have out on the pitch the more fun we can have.
