A big thank you to everyone who is parking properly in the top car parks at Belgrave High School. An incident on Saturday morning shows why when an ambulance had to be called and was able to drive straight down to the field without any hold ups.

THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE - PLEASE READPLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, could we remind all parents and players that they should not park or "drop off" on the bottom car park at Belgrave High School but to use either the top car park or indeed the large space available round the back of the school buildings to the right as you drive in which you can access by following the drive in, turning right when you get to the school building in front of you, and then turn right again immediately before the fence. Please leave all access areas open at all times. No one should park on any of the grassed areas on the school premises as they are likely to cause damage to these areas. Your help in this matter is much appreciated. This is a safety issue, if we continue to have cars travelling up and down the driveway and parking down there with lots of young children running around, there will be an accident

It is worth checking the copy of the Directory on the TJL website as this will be kept up to date.

03/09/2009 - The Tamworth Junior League is now a Charter Standard League and all clubs associated with the League must adhere to and adopt the RESPECT campaign. This means that all Clubs must ensure they have a designated supporter's area which will normally run the entire length of one side of the pitch where both sets of both supporters will stand. Where possible, club officials and players will stand on the opposite side of the pitch. The supporter's area will use either Respect Barriers, ropes and poles, discs or spray-painted lines. Cottage Farm Rangers will be using the Respect Barriers. We ask that all supporter's adhere to these guidelines and continue with the good behaviour that this Club is known for. We hope you all have a good season.

01/09/2009 - The small-sided fixtures (under 8s and up) are now on-line and the referees for the first month are now being allocated. Forthcoming Fixtures

09/08/2009 - Normally, we don't comment on friendlies but as Jack Dodd starts his 10th season with the club and scores his 5th goal (after 2 earlier good attempts) I thought he deserved a mention to top a very good display and a very good goal, well done Doddy!

13/06/2009 - Cottage Farm Rangers FC have been awarded one of the Birmingham County FA League Fair Play Awards for the 2008/9 season. The trophy was awarded at the County FA Awards Presentation at the Grassroots Football Live Show.

04/01/2007 - You may have seen the article on the front page of the Tamworth Herald regarding the new fire station potentially being sited on part of the paying fields at Belgrave High School. The plans as we understand them are that the fire station is going to be located where the Junior School pitches currently are so it should not affect our long term future at Belgrave. It could well be that some pitches may need to be moved around to fit things in and we may share pitches with the Junior School but that is all to be decided.    

13/10/2006 - A small feature in this week's Tamworth Herald - Rangers are on the up - Cottage Farm Rangers Football Club are going from strength to strength with teams running from under-eights to under-15s level as well as girls teams.
The club also runs a very successful Football Development Centre for boys and girls aged between five-seven-years old,. The centre takes place in at Dosthill Boys Club in Cadogan Road in Dosthill every Friday between 5-6.45pm
The centre is run by qualified FA coaches who have been subject to CRB checks. For more information about the club, call Charlie Hembry on 07903 939107 or visit www.cfrfc.co.uk.

 


 

Read about the FA's Respect campaign here.

The Tamworth Junior League is now a Charter Standard League, one of the first in the country. As a member of a Charter Standard League, we will have to abide by some new rules concerning Spectator areas. Basically, all Tamworth Junior League matches will have to have designated Spectator areas on one side of the pitch, where possible, and the coaches and substitutes will stand on the other side of the pitch. The Spectator's side of the pitch will be cordoned off with either Respect Barriers, ropes & poles, a marked line or discs, approx 2 metres from the edge of the pitch.  As you are aware, Cottage Farm Rangers FC is a Charter Standard Development Club and we have been roping off the small-sided pitches for more than a year now. We will be changing our approach to fall in line with FA policy. Please take a moment to read the relevant Code of Conduct (on the left) and also the FA's Respect web pages (above).


14/09/2009 - Cottage Farm Rangers want to encourage as many of their Coaches, Players and Parents who have access to the internet to complete the on-line Soccer Parent course at Soccer Parents CourseAll of those people who complete the course will be able to print out a certificate, and we would like them to get in touch with us (use the Mail to link below left) to let us know, and we will include their name of the Roll Of Honour page. Soccer Parent Roll Of Honour.

05/09/2009 - Parents and coaches, please take time to read this article: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/6133062/Grass-roots-abuse-is-irreparably-damaging-the-fabric-of-football.html

05/09/2009 - Follow the link and take a look at the two Ray Winstone Respect films, well worth watching here.

22/06/2009 - RESPECT GUIDE FOR PARENTS. As part of its Respect programme, The FA has launched a new free Respect online parent guide - a replacement for Soccer Parent. The online module features film content to showcase unacceptable parental behaviour and its consequences on young players. There is also commentary from well-known and grassroots football figures, including Stuart Pearce and Howard Webb. Please use this link to access the Guide: http://www.thefa.com/respectguide/ We can add you name to our website to show that you have completed the course here

10/06/2009 - The Codes of Conduct have been updated to reflect the changes in these Codes from the FA. These are the new RESPECT Codes of Conduct and now include sanctions that could be used if poor practice occurs, either by the Club or by the County or the FA. Fortunately, the behaviour of our players, coaches, officials and supporters is normally very good and we want to ensure this continues, but please read the relevant Code of Conduct so that you know what is expected of you.


Abuse in Football

We are very fortunate at this club that we have very little trouble on the pitch caused by our players or indeed off the pitch caused by club officials or by supporters or spectators. We are very grateful to all of you for this and we want to keep it this way which we can do with your help.

Campaigns

Don't X The Line..........and...........Keep It Shut!.........and...........the FA has 3 pilot schemes

http://www.dontxthelinecampaign.com/
               http://www.totalyouthfootball.com/keepitshut/

The F.A. are launching three pilot schemes in nine regions across England from January.
These are:
1. Only the team captain will be allowed to speak with the referee.
2. Roped-off areas will be introduced at junior matches so 'over-indulgent or abusive' parents cannot easily abuse referees.
3. All players and club officials will be forced to sign a 'memorandum of understanding' thereby accepting to abide by the standards of behaviour that will be expected. 

We, as a club, intend to rope off the Small-sided games initially as stated above in 2 which will also give the managers room to work as they will be the only people allowed pitch-side of the rope. We already have Codes of Conduct for Coaches, Players, Supporters and Team Officials alike as can be seen by following the links on the left of this page, so if we can all follow these, no matter how frustrated we get, and we do, then we can keep up our good record. Thank you for your support!
