Dear all

Firstly may we extend our warm welcome thanks for your support in the setting up of our football club. We are about to embark on our very first season playing regular league football in the Camden & Islington Youth League, an exciting prospect for us all as players, coaches, parents and supporters of Recreativo Juniors FC.

For the majority (if not all) of the players, this will be the very first opportunity to play in a proper organised league, in full kit, with referees and a league table to look at every week! We have been drawn to play in the Camden & Islington Youth League North Division alongside Under 9 teams from Crown & Manor FC, Hampstead, Iseldon Wolves, Harbour FC, Primrose Hill Soccer School, Islington Tufnell Youth and Regents Park.

We have a squad of 12 players.

The matches will be 8-a-side. We will pick the team depending on who is available (we realise that some players may not be able to make every game) and intend to treat every player equally and make sure they get their fare share of time on the pitch. No one has yet asked to take the goalie's gloves, so each player shall be rotated to share goalkeeping responsibilities.
