Looking to join a local junior football team? Why not give us a try. All teams coached by coaches who have attained an FA Level 1 standard in coaching and have passed through the enhanced CRB checking procedure.

About us:- Most of the squad have been together since the ages of 11. There have been lads that have left and other have joined but there has been a core group through-out. A new Manager / coach took over the team last season and although the team have did not have the success they deserved last season they did make huge steps improving no end all through the season. This season is going to be tough as they will be playing at the under 18 age group when they themselves would all qualify to play in an Under 17 age group we are confident and looking forward to the challenges ahead. NEW players are welcome to come along please contact Martin or the Chairman

Coach / manager:- Martin Harris, Qualified level one coach (Oct 05), first aider, CRB checked (Feb 06) and also passed online course in Psychology for Football Level 1, Planning, Preparing and Evaluating Coaching Sessions, Coaching Children, Player and Match Analysis and Fitness in football Level 1 and will be starting his FA level 2 FA Coaching course in April 2006 he is also ably assisted by Mark Clark who is also a qualified Level one coach and first aider and on match days by Roy Redbourne (parent) who helps out with transport and most of the paperwork.

Sponsorship details:- Thanks to the kind people at The Pymouth Chiropractic Clinic in Plymouth, we will be able to provide, new footballs for training and 2 new match balls, training aids, replenish our first aid bag, get shirts printed, warmer side line garments for substitutes and most importantly Free Chiropractic treatment for all of the players during the sponsorship period, making the overall sponsorship package potentially worth over £1000.00 dependant on the use of the treatment on offer which is truly a major donation by the area's leading Chiropractors to Tavistocks oldest youth teams set up. We ask that you visit there web site and see what else they can offer you in the way of  health care and sports injury's treatments and support them in the same way as they are supporting us.

FIXTURES AND MATCH DAY DETAILS

When playing at home we will meet at the ground (Mary Tavy) by 1:15 arrangements for the away games and transport will be confirmed nearer the time but generally we will meet at the Leg O'Mutton Car park at 12:35 players making their own way must be at the ground at least 50 minutes prior to kick off.

According to the fixtures our season will end on the 4th of February, this will not be the case there is a chance we could progress in either of the two cup competitions and there will be postponements during the course of the season so we will be playing competative football probably well into March.
