BTiNet Under 13's

Coaches: Leon Blackmore- Such & Sahara Osborne-Rickets
Welcome to the Oxford United BTiNet U13s Centre of Excellence.The COE has been in operation since July 2007; during this period the Under 13's structure has developed at a great pace.
At this stage in their lives our job has a real 50/50 split. Although the main aim is to enhance their technical ability, it is vital that us as coaches keep the fun aspect high.
The girls always arrive to COE in good spirit so we always tend to train & play matches with the same enthusiasm & tempo. Happy children always enjoy learning!
Our season begins this year with a new rule change with all fixtures now being 9 v 9, with this in mind we operates with a squad of 15 players.
The U13s is totally different, the players here want to be the best. They certainly put the work in, they all understand that, "Being good enough... simply is not good enough".
Our 1st season was very challenging. Our structure was a massive eye opening experience, not only for the players but parents also. No more events of strikers scoring 5 goals a game & keepers asking to come on pitch because they haven't had a save to make.
This current squad is built up of players that don't just play football... they're footballers.
Not happy to be the best female players in their school, estate or village they strive to be the best they possibly can.
Travelling to Hampshire, Devon & Somerset to name a few away fixtures. We have seen them grow as player's mentally, strength wise & also their character's have improved.
As U13s our players now look & see football as a totally different game, they have an appreciation of the standards of the coaching staff & the lengths their parents go to getting them all over the Country to compete against players of their own standards, which in return will only makes them better and stronger, week in week out. Their football skills & fitness levels are forever improving.
We play our home matches at Oxford United Training Ground, Roman Way, Cowley, Oxford, OX4 6NL.
Regards Leon Blackmore-Such & Sahara Osborne-Rickets
