Welcome to Malpas & District JFC - Season 2019/20
Message of 13th March 2020
This afternoon, following consultation with colleagues, the Junior Football Club made the decision to cancel training for all teams. I appreciate that there may be disappointment and disagreement with this course of action, after all the players are still going to school so why call it off? Most of our age groups have already played so little football already this season due to weather that further disruption is of course totally regrettable.
However, this comes down to what is our responsibility and what we can control. In the last days we have moved to the delay phase of the response to mitigate the impact of this virus. Self-isolation and social distancing are methods to assist in this process and whilst there is considerable variation in Govt / organisations / community responses there is a general move to stopping doing things that are less necessary than others.
Those of us who contributed to this afternoon’s decision are not medical experts, scientists or politicians but on balance felt that continuing “as normal” under the prevailing conditions was not an option.
It is hoped that this course óf action will contribute in some way to keeping people safe. Clearly it may not be at the scale of a Premier League postponement but it if helps, it is something that we can be comfortable with.
Literally as I am writing this I have had an email from the Chester & District Junior Football League, with the announcement that all football activity (matches, friendlies and training) is now suspended.
Updates will be provided as best we can.

Hello all
**THIS WEBSITE IS NOW UNDER CONSTRUCTIONS FOR THE 2019/20 SEASON**
We are running the following teams for the 19/20 Season
U9s
U11s Reds
U11 Blacks
U12 Reds
U13s
A priority for the Junior Football Club is now to re-establish our Minis Section (U5s to U8s). There have been numerous requests from parents of children within this age bracket but as yet we have yet to find a volunteer to come forward as coach. Training will be paid for by the Club and full support is available, If you are interested please do get in touch!
If all parents could kindly take a few minutes to read the Succession Planning page (click here) it would be very much appreciated.
There is a new page which contains resources to assist us in our duty to safeguard our young players on and off the pitch - Please click here
Medical Screening in Junior Football
The FA require all clubs to maintain awareness about the impact of Asthma on young players in the game. At the start of each season Coaches will seek confirmation about the presence / absence of Asthma (and related conditions) within their squads and will act on this information to ensure inhalers are available as per our policy.
