Old Albanian “Continuing moves are afoot to ensure teenage players, female and male, are fully aware of what the club achieves and what it offers.” Our mini/junior setup is of paramount importance and is one of the largest of its kind in the country. Over 900 boys and girls are registered and are looked after by a huge and well qualified coaching staff. Player safety is the first priority, closely followed by ensuring everyone is having fun. Excellence at the basic footballing skills is encouraged from the earliest age and develops naturally as the child progresses. This is far more important than what might be termed a ‘winning mindset’. The youngsters do compete and if titles accrue that’s well and good; that’s not as important as a happy, shared experience. Three young men represented their country last season, one of them for Ireland and can look forward to exciting times ahead. Over twenty of the young ladies got to County standard and two Junior ‘Saints’ joined the England development squad. Continuing moves are afoot to ensure teenage players, female and male, are fully aware of what the club achieves and what it offers.
