The night before the night before the start of the season seems like a good time to post some reminders of how we want parents to behave when watching their kids play football
#LetThemPlay
Please share our
#Avision4football
and let's create an environment everyone can enjoy
Sadly our league had to be suspended until 2nd December
We guarantee that no one will miss out on their games as we will be extending the season
We’ll use this period to move all fixtures & ensure everyone can come back playing matches as soon as allowed
Please stay safe
We are already receiving an unprecedented amount of messages, calls & emails.
We really hope
#grassrootsfootball
can continue - we know it’s so important for the mental and physical health of so many children, particularly in these times
#LetThemPlay
We will update you all soon
Please would all clubs remember not to tweet scores - instead tweet about the game in terms of how well the players performed & how well the coaches, officials & parents created the right environment
We will not retweet or like posts with scores in them
It’s about development
The
@FA
have informed us that the decision regarding the playing of matches falls to the JPL.
The well-being of the JPL’s players governs every decision we make.
ALL JPL fixtures are postponed this weekend & we will issue further guidance based on expert opinion
#COVID_19uk
This weekend when you’re at the game please remember they’re just kids not professionals and they deserve to play in an a fun environment with no shouting or pressure from the sidelines
#avision4football
#respect
#letthemplay
Just a gentle reminder for all parents watching their child/children play football this weekend - let’s create the right environment for them
#bestwithbest
#WeOnlyDoPositive
We are delighted for and proud of, Gareth Hamer who has been offered the role of Head of Recruitment for Oxford United FC (a cat 3 academy).
We wish Gareth all the best and we are all sure he will be an enormous success in the future in his new role.
What a great statement from the manager of
@LFC
who sums up perfectly what kids football is all about and no wonder his players at all of his clubs have always loved playing for him
#rightattitude
#grassrootsfootball
We say it at the start of every season
We will never like/retweet a score or victory tweet where the opposition club is named
This is because we prefer to focus on the development, effort and fun rather than the result
Win, lose or draw comes second to the above
We are thrilled by the Government announcement today about potential resumption of ‘Organised Outdoor Sport' from 29th March.
We await updated guidance for the return of football from
@FA
& will continue to update you all as and when information is available.
Whenever you see a calm coach you normally see a calm team and a great set of parents supporting the development of the players
Please everyone let’s make an environment the players can thrive in
Coaches it starts with you
#Avision4football
Parents please be quiet this weekend as your child plays football, you don't know what their coach has told your child to do, just
#LetThemPlay
& learn from their mistakes as thats the best way for them to develop
Please can everyone help & create a great learning environment
STOP PRESS |
We are pleased to announce that we are the first and only
@FA
national charter standard youth league in the country!
Thank you to all of the committee,
@BirminghamFA
and our clubs who have helped us achieve this prestigious award!
A credit to everyone involved!
Our trip to Real Madrid for the Rep Teams isn't a little holiday, it's going to be hard work for the players (but amazing fun as well) as they will receive 8 coaching sessions (16 hours!!!!) working with Real Madrid Academy coaches plus play 2 matches at the Academy.
Please will everyone involved be aware that we will never retweet or like a scoreline - we do ❤️ tweets telling us about development, fun, respect & sportsmanship
Just
#LetThemPlay
and have fun
Parents and coaches
#letthemplay
and have fun
Don’t shout from the sidelines or give them that pep talk in the car/changing rooms to gee them up just let them express themselves and learn the game - mistakes are part of their development
#Avision4football
Please would all JPL clubs and coaches be aware that this Saturday ALL matches will observe a minutes silence before the match begins in remembrance of those that gave the ultimate sacrifice so we can enjoy our freedom
#RemembranceSunday
#RemembranceDay2019
#lestweforget
Wow it’s our 10th season already & I am sure it’s going to be better than ever
We wish all of our players, parents, supporters, coaches, clubs & officials the very best for the season ahead, let’s all work together to make it an amazing season
A massive thank you to Nerf
We are back - finally
It’s been a very difficult year for everyone so thank you to you all for getting everything ready to kick off the season
Smiles, fun and development is our aim for every player so please help us make that happen
Good luck to everyone today

The JPL is aware of an incident in a match on 22/01/2022 that involved a player spitting at a referee.
This is an abhorrent act with no justification at all - it should never happen.

#RespectTheRef
Saw this and thought how perfect it was - wouldn't it be great if we all just let everyone do their jobs at football without shouting, complaining, insulting anyone
#letthemplay
#Respect
#Avision4football
Please would all coaches/managers of any youth sports team take note of this
It’s about fun, making friends, making memories, developing and learning life lessons more than results.
#football
#coaching
To all of our players, their families, clubs, coaches and officials we wish you a Merry Christmas 🎄
Please stay safe during these difficult times & let’s all look forward to a bright future
Thank you to our great sponsors
@statsports
&
@Hasbro
(Nerf) for your support
Coaches - please be aware of the massive influence you have on your young player's lives, teach them to love the game, show respect, be a great winner and loser and to value the lifelong memories and friends they are making
#Respect
#Avision4football
Saw this and thought of all the young players that don’t get chance to grow because of coaches and Parents shouting and wanting to win
#LetThemPlay
and have fun
#itstheirgame
As a mark of respect to Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, and following guidance from The FA, fixtures will not take place in the Junior Premier League tomorrow.

Football is nothing without fans
This is Ted who is 94 years young and attends all of the
@granthamtownfc
home games and came down yesterday to watch all of our trophy finals
Respect and love to this amazing man
After last nights horrible display of racism against our
@england
players we wanted to remind everyone that we do not tolerate any racism at all
We should all focus on making the football environment free of all discrimination
#saynotoracism
We are awaiting guidance from the
@FA
tomorrow on whether football can continue during the lockdown & will let you all know as soon as we know. 🤞
Whatever happens we ask that everyone stays safe so that we can resume ASAP, use the break to stay fit & work on your weaker foot
Happy New Year to all Junior Premier League players, coaches, parents, clubs & supporters.
All clubs have now received an email which maps out our plans to get the girls & boys of the JPL back to playing football as often, as safely & as early in the new year as possible.
Make it a positive weekend for every kid playing sport this weekend
#WeOnlyDoPositive
#LetThemPlay
Please let us together create a great environment so that everyone can enjoy this great game
We are delighted for teams that qualify for finals and win leagues but we will always stick with stated policy and not tweet score lines
Give praise and congratulations but please leave the score off social media
#itdoesntmatter
#Avision4football
This is what we want all involved in our league to abide by
Let’s recognise that focusing on change will bring the development of players that we all want to see
#Avision4football

Please would all be aware that all JPL matches are to observe a minutes silence prior to kick off this weekend
Remembering all those who have made sacrifices, especially those that gave their lives, so that the rest of us could live in freedom. We will never forget....
Question to all coaches
Do we allow/encourage our young players to make mistakes? Considering that players we love and admire for their success also still make the most mistakes- yet are still the most successful?
