My sons play in with a local team Tulse Hill Juniors. It's an old South London club that stopped for a while and is now rebuilding its squad.


They train on Saturdays (10am-12, opposite the cafe in Dulwich Park) and play matches in the Tantridge League on a Sunday morning (their home matches are played on the Dulwich Prep pitches)


The club really needs to find more players. Today for example although they fielded 3x teams, the U9s played with 1 less player than their opposition and had no subs.


It's a friendly club - both kids and watching parents.

They are also looking for anyone who would like to be part of their coaching team.


Email info@tulsehilljfc.co.uk for more detail, or just come along on Saturday morning (stud boots, shin pads etc)


Thx!

Not every Sunday, they understand that families have lives outside of football but being in a team and playing competitive matches is really important to the club and actually the boys who seem incredibly proud of their training kit and their match kit and being in a league. Other clubs we looked out kicked out boys if they weren't committed to playing every Sunday which we found fairly tough.

Thank you nylonmeals for the Big Up. I'm one of the coaches at Tulse Hill JFC and like all the coaches there I have more than 15 years experience. I'm one of two UEFA B qualified coaches at the club which is professional academy level. The club has many ex players now playing at professional level (https://www.tulsehilljfc.co.uk/former-players) and dozens who attended pro academies.


But the most important thing is not ability, it's attitude. We ask that the boys and girls who join us have a great attitude and try their hardest at training and when playing.


We also understand that sometimes players cannot make training or a match. They won't be kicked out for that - but they might be for having a bad attitude, being a bully or by their parent's bad behaviour. Our aim is to provide a safe environment for every child to achieve their potential as both a footballer and as a human being. That's why we have professionally qualified coaches and a Club Welfare Officer. We are all trained in first aid and safeguarding children. And we are all volunteers, doing what we love.


Starting places in teams will generally go to those that turn up to training on time and have a good attitude. We will keep expanding to allow more children to join the club. We now have 16 regulars at U10 and there are also large numbers at the other younger age groups including five and six year olds. As we grow we will build more teams. For example we plan to have 2 teams at U10 by Xmas. So we are looking for players and parents who are a good fit for our club, and coaches and wannabe coaches too. All are welcome. Happy to answer questions or chat live. Rad

A quick update. Since my last post four more coaches have joined the club. We now have 2 teams at U10. The original U10 team won the Gold Vase final a week before Xmas 2018. The U9s got to their cup final too. Not bad for teams which have been together for 3-4 months. The new U10s play their second game tomorrow. We have registered a second U8 team who will play their first game in the next couple of weeks. We will continue to expand as players and coaches join us. Training is in Dulwich Park in front of the cafe every Saturday from 10-12noon.

    • Gone to the better hunting grounds during this local ongoing dry spell.
    • The Dreamliner has an impeccable service history, you are more likely to get mugged on the way to the airport than having any issue with your flight, that's how safe it is!  Have a great trip.
    • Maybe. Does that kill grass? If so, possibly the same dog that has left its poo outside my house - pretty sure it's not fox poo.
    • Here you are, intexasatthemoment (you seem to have been in Texas for a very long time!) We went to three of the recommended places yesterday,  as they were all in the same road (just near Wallington)  and I needed to give the car a run to avoid another slap on the wrist from my garage (and another new battery). Here's my findings. BARNES Parking We thought we would go here first as it was the earliest to close on a Sunday (3pm). There was no apparent entrance or anywhere to park. One notice said do not park on grass verge, and another one said staff cars only! Flittons was opposite but I'd already passed the entrance, so I had to drive down the road, turn round at the next available place (covered in signs saying do not park here) and park in Flittons car park! Plants Barnes  specialise in hardy perennials, so that was basically what they had, but an excellent selection, and many more unusual plants (or at least, plants you probably wouldn't find in a garden centre), eg Corydalis,  lots of different varieties of Epimediums, Trollius, some lovely Phygelius, lots of different ferns). The plants were divided into sections according to whether they needed sun or shade or could cope with both. They had a particularly good selection of  shade loving plants. There was really useful information above  each group of plants, which meant you didn't have to look at individual labels. All the plants looked in good health and  very well cared for. They don't produce a printed catalogue, but they  said their plant list was online (I haven't looked yet). I assume most of  the plants they have at any one time are when it's their flowering season (if they flower). I wasn't intending to buy anything, though was very tempted, but I'd definitely go here again once I've sorted out my overgrown garden. Other Stuff Don't think they sell pots, compost, etc. No cafe/tea room and I didn't see a loo, but Flittons is just over the road. FLITTONS  Parking Easy to park Plants Sorry, but mostly terrible. There was one section with vegetables and the rest was flowering plants. There was a general feeling of delapidation. Some of what was on display was actually dead (surely it would only take a minute to remove dead plants) and a lot of the rest was very poorly maintained, eg gone to seed, weedy, apparently unwatered, or with a lot of dead leaves. There was a notice asking for volunteers to work there, so I can only assume they can't afford to pay staff. Other stuff There was a notice to a play barn (?) saying invited people only, so I think they must host kids' parties or something. They redeemed themselves with a cosy little cafe with savoury stuff, nice cakes, iced chai and oat milk, and a loo. Also a selection of books and CDs on sale for charity. If you want an Andrews Sisters CD, you can find one here. There is a small shop with gift shop type stuff and a display of the history of Flittons, which apparently is family owned since the sixties (I think it was). I suspect that the arrival of Dobbies down the road must have greatly affected Flittons' fortunes, which is sad. DOBBIES  Parking Easy in theory once you had navigated a rather narrow entrance, but it was very busy so it took a while to find a space. Plants  Lots of plants, well maintained but I imagine their turnover is high. Lots of nice bedding plants for hanging baskets, window boxes etc  to cater for all tastes (ie some of it wasn't mine, but fine if you like those horrid little begonias (my opinion only) but they did have some nice (in my opinion) stuff as well. I was tempted but decided to buy from North Cross Road market. Fair selection of climbers, various different Clematis etc. I'd be happy to buy plants from here. The prices seemed reasonable and they were in good condition. Other stuff  It's a big garden centre with all that entails these days, so a large area selling garden furniture and storage, tools, animal collars, pots, all the usual stuff you would expect. Very helpful staff. There's a cafe which we didn't check out, charging points for electric cars, a Waitrose (no idea how big, we didn't look). Only on our way out did we see that there was a drive through "express section" for compost etc, which was annoying as I wanted compost and hadn't seen any anywhere,  but I was getting tired by that time. Just Down the Road A ten minute drive away is Wilderness Island, a nature reserve in Carshalton, which is well worth a visit. We heard eleven different kinds of bird (according to Merlin) and saw a Kingfisher flying down the tiny river!
