U9 Purples

               Our U9 Purples play in the Mid Lancashire Colts Junior Football League in the Orange Division alongside our Blues side. They play their home games at Leyland St. Marys High School on the astro turf, this terrific venue ensures that all home games are guaranteed to be on due to the high standard of the all weather pitch and allows us to provide football to the children nearly every weekend. At this age there are no results submitted and no league tables as it is about building their confidence and skill levels and their love for the game. The league tracks the results of the games so that they can organise the fixtures and leagues so that the games are competitive, and teams are matched with others of similar ability.

​

               The majority of this team have been together since U6’s and have developed really well and are competing at a high level of ability within the leagues. At this age they play 7v7 and our Purples currently have 11 players registered. Their coach Mark joined them this season and is doing a superb job with them, he also has the experience and advice from Paul Redmond who is our Men’s First Team Coach to help him.

​

               They currently train on a Wednesday night at Runshaw College all weather pitch at 17:30-18:30 and play their home games on Leyland St. Marys high school all weather pitch on a Saturday morning at 11am.
