CLUB RULES

OUR COACHING PHILOSOPHY

The coaching staff and officials of Moone Celtic Football Club understand that children participate in football to have fun. If children don’t have fun playing football, they’ll soon pack it in.

We never forget that the game of football is just that a game.

It’s not about how many wins and losses are accumulated. And, it is surely not about how many trophies are collected. It’s not about how many goals we score or concede. It’s all about enjoying the game and, at the same time, learning and developing football and life skills.

Proper football development requires that children play age appropriate activities so they are able to experience, comprehend, and execute the game as it relates to where they are at their own stage of physical and mental development.

It is about playing in different positions so the player learns all the skills necessary to develop in the game.

It’s about receiving equal playing time, so the players are all given equal opportunity to learn.

It’s about learning the techniques of the game through a variety of fun games where players have as much contact with a ball as possible and learn at their own rates.

In Addition:

There is a strict no smoking policy in Fortfield Park, we ask anyone entering our premise not to smoke or vape and also ask for everyone involved with the club to be mindful enforces of this during trainings and matchdays, in particular with visiting teams who may not be aware or the club’s policy on smoking

We will not leave your child unattended at a practice session or a game.
