Deeping Claret Under 8's have a great 2016

Its been a fantastic year for the Deeping Clarets Under 8's.

After some very hard decisions, the coaching staff identified a number of players that would represent Deeping Clarets Under 8's and form the bones of the team for 7, 9 and 11 a side long in to the future.

As a club, we decide not to enter into the Under 7's league and continue with training and games at the Embankment every other week on astro turf to develop the skills further. Obviously it takes a little while to get used to playing matches, and after a few tough games at the start, we flourished and played some great football, going 8 unbeaten.

The boys have developed well, scoring some amazing goals, defended fantastically, without any panicking and kept goal well in stopping some certain goals.

The most rewarding thing so far for a coach is that the lads have taken into games, what the are learning in training, including some brave heading, 3rd man running off the ball and spiining in to space from throw-ins.

Myself and Andy (Assistant coach) could not be prouder and are looking forward to 2017 and 7 a side next season.

Happy New Year to all.

Dan Ingram & Andy Fowler.

PS. A couple of pics of the Player of the Week awards given out this season. More to come in 2017.
