Holycross AFC
Open to All Policy
Holycross AFC have an 'Open To All' policy when it comes to membership and we will endeavour to give equal opportunity to every boy and girl of all abilities when it comes to training and playing. Playing numbers in the Club have grown significantly over the last few seasons putting pressure on our coaches to give everyone playing time while also trying to improve results. To clarify Holycross AFC’s position for parents the committee have set down the following policy to ensure the continuing improvement of the level of football played by teams representing the club. Competitive Leagues (U12 Onwards) if the numbers in an age group exceed the permitted number allowed on the match card: As long as a team are in a position to win the league, the coach will pick a match day squad based on ability and performance at training and contact them to attend on the day of the match. Depending on how close the actual match is, not all members of the match day squad are guaranteed game time. If the team is no longer in a position to win the league, the match day squad will be rotated to give all kids that do train, game time. Again the coach can only take as many players as is permitted by the match card and those chosen for a given match will be contacted in advance. Cup Matches (U12 Onwards) if the numbers in an age group exceed the permitted number allowed on the match card: The coach will pick a match day squad based on ability and performance at training and contact them to attend on the day of the match. Depending on how close the actual match is, not all members of the match day squad are guaranteed game time. I understand and agree to abide by the Holycross AFC ‘Open To All’ Policy.
