Welcome to the Kirkliston and South Queensferry Football Club web site
Kirkliston Gala Day - Update
The KSQ Committee would like to thank all players who came along on Saturday to march in the Gala Parade. Thanks also to Marlene Brodley who provided the banners and coach's T-shirts.
The highlight of the day was undoubtedly the sight of the KSQ Coaches team winning a stunning victory over the Army in the Tug O' War contest!
Big Fundraising News
KSQ has formed a partnership with EasyFundraising.org.uk, allowing you to raise money for the club whenever you do your online shopping. No matter what you're shopping for - gifts, CDs, books, electrical goods, holidays, etc, you can help to raise money for the club, at no extra cost to yourself! Visit our new fundraising page here to find out more.50-50 Relaunch
KSQ's annual 50/50 fundraiser restarts next month, so please give it a go and help to raise funds for the club, whilst giving yourself a chance to win some money. For just £12 you'll enter the draw every month for an entire year. Half of the proceeds go to the club, and half goes back out as prizes. It's easy, so please give it a go. Your child will have brought a form home from training, but just in case you don't have one, you can download one here. Just fill in the form, and hand it in to your child's coach as soon as possible.Old Footie Strips For Africa
We have been approached by a local charitable group who collect old football strips, repair them if necessary, and distribute them to needy children in Africa. If you have any old strips lying about at home, please bring them in to training, or contact us here. Of course, old KSQ strips should be handed back anyway!
IMPORTANT NOTICE FROM ESSDA
We are a football development association and therefore we are here to
help children learn ball skills, technique and teamwork - NOT to win games,
trophies and medals. Please ensure that all coaches and parents are aware of
this ethos. The guidelines at this level are in place to allow the players
to play without pressure and to allow flexibility within the game. The
guidelines must be adhered to, as they are in place to give the players
an insight in to the rules of the game. We should not lose sight of the
fact that the children in all age groups are very young and need guidance.
It is our job as coaches and parents to supply this guidance. This is especially
important at the younger age levels where we have the chance to instill
a lot of good habits into their game. We must take this chance to develop
our players further rather than shouting and screaming at the sidelines,
which certainly DOES NOT encourage good habits. The behaviour of both parents
and coaches is of the upmost importance, remember the children are always watching.
The children's development is in our own hands, let's develop them properly.
