U 1 3

?TEAM, Toget herness and t he FUTURE?

Presentation Day at CVJFCwas a day of celebration, Trophies, Medals, and Enjoyment for all ages but for the CVJFCU13s it was a chance to show some great TEAM Football as they beat the Coaches emphatically 7-1. This glimpse of our TEAM mentality and Football Philosophy combined with our Togetherness as a TEAM was excellent to see as a Coach and is shown again in the Photo of the TEAM. This Togetherness has also been shown in this Transition Period into Under 14s as 19 Players have already re-registered for the 2023-24 Season.

We will continue into the 2023-24 Season with ?Attitude, Attendance and Effort?as our three core values this Season in Training and Squad Match Selection and All Players, Parents and Coaches fully understand these values and success they brought last season in personal player development, TEAM development and Football Match Results.

The U11's finished the season strongly with only one defeat in the last 3 games. As we close down for the season the U11's should be proud of what they have achieved this season with a squad at the beginning was almost brand new, they have formed new friendships and made it work on the pitch also which has shown in their performances with hard work and determination.

To keep the group ticking over we played some out of scope friendlies from different leagues and once again showed a good account of our selves and was highly praised by opposing managers and coaches. The group entered a highly competitive tournament in Darlington and yet again showed great spirit and high performance against some tough opposition and they thoroughly enjoyed themselves, which we can all agree it's what football is about, enjoyment.

Presentation day came, the team really enjoyed the day playing against the coaches in a fun match up to start off with followed by fun and games then concluded with the trophy presentations, which say Most Improved go to Riley, Players player go to Frankie, Coaches player of the year go to Oscar, Parents player of year go to Olivia, and Sportsman of the year go to Kaiden Olivia also received a special recognition award for her contribution over the year.

Me and Ryan would like to say a well down to the individuals who received the recognition for their efforts but also a well done to the team because without the team around them they wouldn't be possible for the individual recognition. Well done all!

We would also like to thank our sponsors and most of all the parents who have supported the U11' Coaching staff for their continued support they've shown, thank you. We look forward for next season to do it all again as the U12's.

John Drury Takes On Role As Head Coach Of U9 Pant hers

John has been an integral part of the coaching team with us for several years. Having stepped in to help Paul with 20+ players one cold Tuesday evening whilst James was away, he immediately got the bug for coaching and the world class banter... John is popular and respected by the whole squad and brings a genuine joy to everything he does (sometimes to the detriment of the need for ?focus?!) - well that is what football should be about. From all of the players, Paul and James - thank you Big Man! We are gutted to be losing you from our coaching team (for now) and wish you enjoyment and success with your own U9 team for 23/24.

Transit ion t o U11s. The exciting transition to U11s, 9 a side football, in larger goals and on larger pitches in the Harrogate District League, awaits. Paul and James are excited for the new opportunities and challenges that this will bring the squad. We will continue to emphasise the importance of ?Attitude, Effort, Respect and Pride?in the squad. Here?s to an exciting and enjoyable 23/24 season!

The CVJFCU9 Jaguars have had a fantastic season again, as a team they have been displaying all of the clubs values and ethos and are an absolute joy to coach.

There?s a number of different things that we?ve worked on through the season like spacial awareness, movement, passing, shielding the ball and individual ball work, all while using fun and enjoyable ways for the whole team to develop.

All this has reflected on the pitch on Saturday mornings with the whole team putting in some fantastic displays while maintaining the main aim, which is having smiling faces throughout the team, the progress that each individual has made through the season really is phenomenal and it?s an honour to be part of their junior football journey

This team goes from strength to strength and the togetherness they show is brilliant to see.

There were fantastic performances throughout the season which finished with the team winning the league cup for the second year running, along with 3 other tournament wins.

We?re looking forward to carrying this into next season, where we?ll be competing in the Harrogate U11s league

Martin Adams - Coach

In the last newsletter we talked about how extremely proud the Panthers were for reaching the League Cup final, well this edition we can take that level of pride and times it by a hundred. After a couple of weeks preparation, the Panthers travelled to the cup final with a mixture of nerves and excitement The nerves soon left as we took a 1-0 lead within the first couple of minutes. The boys went onto dominate the final and came away with an outstanding 4-0 cup final triumph As a coach I was bursting with pride as the boys received their medals and as a collective lifted the trophy. The trophy was taken by all the boys to their respected Schools for a well-deserved show and tell

Sunday 2nd of July seen the whole team complete their 5km sponsored run around Catterick Village A massive thank you to everyone who sponsored and supported the boys on their efforts. The total raised by the 11 boys was £1757, this will now allow us to purchase club training kits, tracksuits and rain jackets, allowing the boys to wear the club badge with pride

The Panthers have now transitioned into the Under 10 age group, where we now continue to develop our footballing skills towards the new season with our weekly training sessions, friendly fixtures and local tournaments.
