|DAVENTRY TOWN FOOTBALL CLUB – VISION |

|To develop resources and approaches to enable DTFC to ensure that football is accessible to all persons regardless of experience, background, age, ethnicity or gender. |

| |

|To invest in our coaches to ensure that players receive a high standard of coaching in order to improve their abilities and understanding of the game. |

| |

|Provide a safe and positive alternative place to go other than playing on the streets. |

| |

|Help people realise their potential, develop personal skill and confidence. |

The Club is committed to providing a safe and friendly environment for young people to enjoy and play football. We strive to create an identity of which they can be proud, whether that is by providing kit, facilities or equipment. We operate an equal opportunities policy and we make all possible effort to keep costs to individual players down so that participation and inclusion is not down to financial circumstance.

Each team trains at least once per week throughout the year and between September and March/April they play weekly competitive matches against other local teams. Our ethos is based on the power of positive encouragement. Players develop a deep sense of commitment to the club, playing week in, week out, whatever the weather. Training on dark winter evenings keeps them out of mischief and gives them a sense of purpose!

The club will asses the make-up of its junior teams based on the ability levels of individuals. Players will be moved up and down within this structure to ensure that they are playing a level of football that is both comfortable and enjoyable at their current development level. This will remove any pressure on players to perform to a standard above what they want to achieve and increase their involvement in competitive matches.

Our network of coaches will be provided with support and development from DTFC and The Football Association. They will be monitored closely by the club to ensure that the vision is being fulfilled and supported in any challenges that they come across. Our investment in our coaches is our investment in our player’s development.
