| SSG (Small Side Games) have been introduced
by Football Federation of Victoria as a means to introduce young children to football in a fun, relaxed manner with the focus on smaller numbers participating in a fun game enironment.. The thinking behind SSG is that fewer numbers means each child participating should spend more time "on the ball" developing their skills. As such, here at Knox United, we are introducing three to four SSG squads (depending on age and numbers interested). These squads will participate over the winter period. More info on SSG can be found at http://footballfedvic.com.au/development/ssg/ What ages groups are eligible? Any and all children, boys and girls, aged between 5 and 8 inclusive (if you turn 8 in 2008, then you are deemed Under 8 and eligible for SSG's. How long does it last for? Knox United is planning to hold two SSG "seasons" per year. The first one will be over the winter period and in line with the regular FFV season. The second one is planned to occur over the summer months after the FFV season. It is planned to hold one SSG session per age group per week, and we plan that these sessions go for 1 hours duration. When is it? The Winter SSG program will be run every Monday night from April 7 to August 18 from 6:30 -7:30pm. Please note that no session is to be held on the Queens Birthday holiday in June. Where is it? Rowville Community Centre - Futsal/Tennis Courts, Fulham Rd, Rowville. How much is it? Each season (and there are 2 per annum) will cost $100 per child. This will cover a full seasons coaching and training and the supply of balls and training equipment. Other costs such as boots, uniforms (if desired) etc etc are NOT covered by this cost. More SSG questions? Initially we ask that you read the FFV's website section on SSG's here at http://footballfedvic.com.au/development/ssg/ If there are any questions please dont hesitate to contact Peter Cass or anyone else on the committee. |
