Halloween
Seeing as its Halloween on Thursday we'd like to encourage
as many players (and coaches!) to come to training in costume as possible.
Obviously there are restrictions to what you can move in but costumes can be
worn to training and team photos done before removing for the football.
Stockholm FA visit
to Scotland
Around 20 members of the Stockholm FA will be visiting
Glasgow in the next fortnight and as part of this they wish to see how we run
our Soccer Centre at Giffnock! The group of Swedish coaches will visit the
Soccer Centre, which runs between 9-12 on Saturday at Mearns Castle (Newton
Mearns), and look at how our club involves as many players as we do.
Coaches In-service
Our first Giffnock SC Coach In-service will take place on the 22nd of November and will be titled 'Tricks of the Trade'; aimed at giving the coaches at P1-4 some of the wee tips that make a session run smoother and maximise time spent coaching. I will be looking for Soccer Centre boys to participate as runners for this Friday night. Details to be confirmed.
Connor Daniels (17) is a midfielder with the 1996 Thistle
team and has been combining his st with coaching
voluntarily with East Renfrewshire Football Development over the past 18
months. Connor will complete his Scottish FA Level 1.3 Coaching in the Game
certificate this Sunday- making him one of the highest qualified coaches in the
club- so I'd like to invite you all to join me in saying 'Congratulations' to
Connor!
Connor will now be working as one of the lead coaches at the
Girls U7 session at The Pitches (Pollokshaws) which is on every Sunday 11-12.
1996 captains
Ever wonder what's so great about playing for Giffnock SC?
Well, James Lea (17, Mearns Castle High, left) and Paul McKerns (17, formerly of St Ninian's High, right) are the captains of
the 1996 Thistle and Saltire teams respectively and also a coach at the club.
The lads answer that question and some others in the first of our Giffnock SC
Player Files which will be available on the club website.
Tournament
#giffnockscfestival14
The Giffnock SC International Football Festival will be running for its third year this May, 24/25s from further afield- currently we have Danes, English, Irish and Scots attending.
The official hashtag of the festival will be
#GIFFNOCKSCFESTIVAL14 and I'd encourage you to use it in all social media
messages/tweets/chats that you have so that we raise the profile of our great
Festival.
Also, if you know of/have contact with any foreign sides
please get in touch with me (george.milliken@hotmail.com) and I will pass this
on to our tournament organising committee.
SecuriGroup will once again be our principal sponsor of the event.
