10/07/09 - PRE-SEASON SCHEDULE
Please find attached the Pre Season Training Schedule for the coming season. You (hopefully) will notice straight away that after 10 years as Crosslands AFC we have decided to change our team name to North Kelvin United to bring us into line with our youth and children’s teams.

In season 2009-2010 we will be operating two Saturday afternoon teams in addition to retaining our GDSML morning team. The new second team will play in the Paisley & District League and first team will continue to play in the GGP Saturday Afternoon League. We hope that by operating this extra team younger and more inexperienced players will have more opportunities to play and develop their abilities.

We will continue to train on Tuesday and Thursday evenings throughout the season. Tuesday night training will be at North Kelvinside Pitches and Thursday night training will be at the brand new Milton Campus 3g Pitch. Attendance at training, together with match performance and attitude will continue to be the main criteria for team selection.

Please note that the pre season training venue is different from the normal training venues, as the majority of pre season will take place at Ruchill Park. (Please remember that the schedule may be subject to change).

If you need any further information please don’t hesitate to contact myself (marksadams11@gmail.com / 07779 117 223), or new 2nd Team Manager, Simon Davidson (simondavidson14@hotmail.com / 07946 884 117).

We look forward to seeing you on Thursday the 16th at 06.00pm. Should you require help with transport please let me know well in advance in order that arrangements can be made.

As you know our Sunday coaching sessions at North Kelvinside pitches are designed to give younger children the opportunity to play football and improve their skills under the supervision of Head Sunday Coach Scott McKinnon and his squad of SFA qualified coaches.

Our intention is always to try and provide the best facilities available. The upgrade of the NK pitches will not now happen until next year, so we have decided that this situation together with the deterioration of the weather means that we should host Sunday Coaching indoors during the winter months.

We will be hosting Sunday Coaching from 11am - 1pm indoors in the Games Hall of the Sports Centre. The cost remains 50p per child. There is a car park right outside and the venue can be reached easily on the number 18 and 61 buses.

If you have any questions about this please contact Scott on 07852 915 959 or email info@ngfdg.co.uk. A map of the venue can be found on our website at http://www.ngfdg.co.uk/John%20Paul%20Academy%20map.jpg. The venue's address is John Paul Academy, 2 Arrochar Street, Summerston, Glasgow, G23 5LY.

The dates are; -
December 7th & 14th
Xmas Break then returning on
January 11th, 18th & 25th
February 1st, 8th, 15th & 22nd.

Nearly 2000 fun runners took to the streets of North Glasgow last April in what turned out to be the biggest NG5k yet! Friends, families, neighbours & work colleagues came together on the day to cheer each other on with much laughter along the way. Back for its third year, ng5k returns for 2008 and promises to be bigger than ever!
We hope to see you there
