DON'T X THE LINE
Touchline indiscipline and abuse of referees is in the forefront of the news. The FA and our governing bodies are constantly looking at ways to stamp out this poor behaviour.

In the coming season Crayford Arrows Sports Club will be introducing on a voluntary basis a 'Behind the Line’ campaign designed to allow our youngsters to enjoy the game in safety and without interference from the touchline. Special tape barriers will be erected on one side of senior pitches. Parents and supporters will be asked to keep on one side of the pitch while the Home and Away managers, coaches and their players will be sited on the other touchline.

We have advised our League and Governing body what we are doing and we are sure all eyes will be upon us. Please help us to make the scheme a success for the benefit of your youngsters.

CHARTER STATUS
This week The London Football Association confirmed Crayford Arrows elevation to ‘Community and Adult Club’ charter status. This is very welcome news indeed and recognises not just the work we are doing within the club but also our co-operation with agencies in the local community who are trying to help the less fortunate youngsters get into sport and football in particular.

The London FA has provided us with a number of training balls and equipment for use by the club. This will be available shortly. Once again this shows how Crayford Arrows Sports Club is well regarded in youth and senior football in and around Bexley.

CRAYFORD ARROWS JOIN KENT YOUTH LEAGUE
Chairman of the club Chris Rust, is delighted to announce that following an interview with their Committee last Thursday, the Kent Youth League has accepted an application for next season's under 13s to join their league.

"This is a major step forward for football development at the club after many months of planning, and takes us potentially onto another level. The Kent Youth League is seen to be the 'Number 1 Youth League' in the Country and has a well founded reputation for the standard of football and administration. Once again this shows how progressive Crayford Arrows SC is in continually striving towards the best for its members - we wish Andy and the under 13s every success in this new venture"

Andrew Wheatley the under 13s manager will also act as secretary and will play a major role in developing our participation in this new venture. A special thanks go to Mick Daly (Vice Chairman) and Julie Baker (Youth Secretary) who prepared the way for the club's entry almost a year ago.
