Funskills & U7s

For boys and girls turning 5, 6, or 7 in 2024

The season starts on Saturday 6th of April, and will run for 18 rounds.

Not only will the children obtain premier league-level coaching, but it will also provide team coaches an opportunity to learn the skills.

Session Details

  1. This is an in-house program and is run on Field 1 every Saturday for 18 weeks.
  2. The session will commence at 8:00 am. Please make sure your team arrives 20 minutes before the session starts.
  3. Our coaches will run their skills program every second week starting on April 6th. Every alternating week will comprise four 10-minute matches with 3-minute breaks in between.
  4. The games are non-competitive (no results are recorded). The team of 9 – 11 players will split into two smaller teams of 4 or 6 when playing the match. No goalkeepers are required. Please Note the volunteer coaches will run the matches on these weekends.
  5. At the end of each match weekend session, coaches will gather the team and select a player of the week (the club will supply a trophy). The player must return the trophy each weekend.
  6. Each team will be supplied with jerseys at the beginning of the Round 1 session and must return them at the end of the season. For new players to the club, shorts, Shin pads, and socks can be purchased from Field 1 Canteen. Players must wear shin pads during the session.
  7. During the first five weeks of the session, Funskills and U7s teams will not be asked to volunteer for the BBQ and Canteen. Once duty commences in week 6, a team will be rostered for each week. Each team must volunteer two parents for the Canteen and two for the BBQ. The rostered team will need to volunteer from 8 am to 9:30 am at the canteen.
  8. Wet Weather Days. The CHUFC Website and Facebook page will display when the fields are closed in wet weather. They are usually updated as late as 5 pm Friday. On a Saturday, if the website states the fields are open and it is raining, the club will review the field conditions at 8:00 am and update the website and Facebook accordingly.

  11. Our coaches will run round 1, so they will manage the field setup and pack-up.
