....But no Youth teams

Yes, its true. Albion have made a decision to defer their involvement with youth football for the foreseeable future. There were varying reasons for this decision, but mainly the differing attitudes of young players and the erosion of our coaches enthusiasm for the weekly "battle" with lack of players commitment to playing and coaching sessions had taken its toll. Financial implications were also a key factor. The end of season club coaches meeting held to evaluate and review the overall club and team section performances left us with no doubt that there are serious issues to be addressed, not just by Redpath Albion, but also by youth football legislators. The bureaucratic barriers now being faced by clubs was also a serious consideration in our decision. The club has now re-drawn its coaching blueprint and will devote itself to Junior and Senior sections. A proposed outcome of the clubs blueprint targets are the development of its junior sections from U7 to U12, then in time, and when we feel we're ready, re-application to the SERYFA at U13 level. Hopefully, by that time a summer season will await the lads and coaches.
