3D Dynamos clubtoday

The Club is now completing its 16th season in grassroots football, currently providing an outlet to over 200 players throughout its junior and youth teams spreading from under 7 to 16 age group, not forgetting the over 35’s (dinosaurs) and the flourishing Football School for the younger and future "youth" players of the Club.

Whilst the success of the Club has never been measured by the winning of trophies, it is pleasing to see the continued growth of junior football which has meant that at several age groups we are running more than one team. The Club ethos of “providing an outlet for all, regardless of ability” has not been forgotten as we have grown.

MEMBERSHIP (STANDING ORDERS)
The Club adopted the system of “standing orders” to pay the annual membership fee for the first time this season. This method replaced the weekly collection of training and match subs throughout the teams. This system seems to be working well, and the Club’s accounts are looking healthier for this method of collection. You are reminded, and made aware that the Club Membership subscription is £144 for the season. On the standing order method this is spread over the year in twelve monthly instalments of £12 (Sept-Aug), and therefore continues during the close season. Monthly payments will continue to be taken throughout the summer.

It is the Club’s intention to uniform all teams across the Club with the same playing kit in style and colour. The huge cost of doing this means that we are phasing this in over this season and next. To ease the financial burden on the Club, we are looking for companies or individuals who could help us by providing sponsorship of a playing kit.
For a minimum contribution of £200.00 you could have your company’s name or logo across one of our kits.

SPL YOUNG PLAYER OF THE MONTH SEPTEMBER 2007

Andrew Driver, former junior player with 3D Dynamos F.C. is currently starring with Scottish Premier League side, Heart of Midlothian. He first made his mark on Hearts' first team during a pre-season tour of Austria in 2006, where he started all 3 friendlies, creating four goals in the process with his direct play and crossing ability. He made his home debut in the league on 26 August 2006 against Inverness Caledonian Thistle, coming on as a substitute with 15 minutes to go and scoring four minutes later.
As a senior player Andrew is only eligible to play for England and is on the fringes of Stuart Pearce’s England U/21 squad.

Under 8’s (Reddish) News:
Manchester City FC
I am pleased to report that two members of our Under 8’s squad playing in the Reddish League have secured places in Manchester City's Under 9’s Academy team for the 2008/9 season. The lads, Richard 'Trick' Wilson and Ben Hughes, were identified by City's scouting team as boys of potential and they have been training with City's coaches at their Platt Lane complex for over 12 months. Trick started his football education with 3D’s Football School aged 5 and has been with the Club for 3 years. The Academy structure, which is overseen by the Football Association, gives boys (and girls) an opportunity to work with the best coaches and players of their own age in first class facilities, playing games against other Academy teams. The lads recently made their City debuts during the Easter holidays in a mini tournament held at Birmingham City's training ground. Everyone at 3D Dynamos Football Club wishes the boys well for the future. Furthermore from the same Under 8’s squad Devon Matthews has been selected to attend Stockport County’s Centre of Excellence.

F.A. CHARTER STANDARD CLUB LINK
As part of the criteria set down by the Football Association in being a Charter Standard Development Club, we must be able to demonstrate that there are both “entry” routes into the Club and “exit” routes out of the Club available to all players.
As entry into the Club already exists through the Football School, we have been lacking in providing an exit route since the demise of the provision of open age football within the Club.
However we have made a commitment to re-establish this exit route by having a recognised formal link to Uppermill F.C. at open age level. Both Clubs committees have recognised the need for this formal link and with the support of Manchester F.A. will work on developing this relationship over the coming months.
By formation of this “Club Link” it is envisaged that players at 17/18 years can continue playing locally at open age level with a recognised Charter Standard Community Club if they so wish.
Links are already established with both Clubs through the Saddleworth Football Forum, which is committed to drive for better playing facilities for football across the local area.

2007/8 Season Update
Good luck to the Under 10 (Tameside) team who have reached their League cup final and continue to close in on the league title with a few games to go. Could it be a double?
Congratulations to the Under 11 (Tameside) team for reaching two cup finals. Unfortunately they got edged out on penalties (4-3) in the first final after finishing the match 0-0 after extra time. They hope for better fortunes next month in the League Cup final.
Congratulations also to the Under 12 (Tameside) team for also reaching their respective league’s cup final on 3rd May at Woodley F.C.
The Under 14 (Huddersfield) team find themselves in a strong position for promotion in their second season in the Huddersfield League. Good luck in the remaining games for the season.
