Welcome to our website.  I am Kevin Bellamy and have taken over as the new manager/ coach for Deeping Rangers Blue Under 10’s for the 08/09 season, along with the help of Nigel Cannon, Assistant Coach.

 

We are playing our home games this season at the home of Deeping Rangers, Outgang Road, Market Deeping.  Now the era of playing at Under 9’s with 6 a-side is behind us, we have the new challenge of coming together as a 7 a-side team in the Under 10’s age group, and building on our fitness to cope with the extra 10 minutes per game.

 

Before breaking for the summer at the end of last season, the team were beginning to put in some good performances, and triumphed with some well-deserved wins after a shaky start to the season.  The team ended the season full of determination and commitment.

 

The team can also hold their heads up high and be proud of the fact they won the award for ‘Fair Play’ last season in the White Zone at Under 9’s.  This was based on the scoring of our competitors on the match day registration sheets.  So this was not just about the players on the pitch, but equally about how we acted as parents to the other sides (e.g. applauding good play) and our general level of good sportsmanship!

 

We are now back in training looking forward to the new season.  We have had a slightly disappointing start over the first couple of matches, however, we are still finding our feet and the team are slowly coming together again.  I am confident, with the majority of the team now having had a year’s experience of playing together, game by game we will continue to improve, and will no doubt begin to achieve the results we deserve for our continued determination, effort and commitment.

 

We would also like to take this opportunity to say a big THANK YOU to The Deepings Lions for sponsoring our new rain jackets for the boys, and it goes without saying they are always most welcome to come along to our matches and support the team.
