Congratulations to Wimbledon Little League for a great performance.

At the last NEC meeting on the 09.09.09  it was confirmed that 20 League Representatives have now volunteered.The Representatives attending all introduced themselves and gave a brief background of their history with Little League.

Bob Goodall thanked everyone attending and explained that having such a great attendance like tonight (in particular considering England was playing) at future meetings would be a positive step forward.

It was decided to reinstate the practice of some years ago whereby each league had a representative who attended NEC meetings because the existing numbers on the Committee were insufficient to deal with the changes and future development of Little League Football - in essence we need more help.

A questionnaire was issued and discussed which covered the following items: -

• 3.1 Details of League Location web site etc
• 3.2 Details of League Officials
• 3.3 Details of League Structure
• 3.4 Matters that could be raised when speaking to your League Chairman
  or Secretary. The list is not exclusive and is merely an ‘aide memoir'.

The idea is that the League Reps, by completing the questionnaire, will highlight the areas that need work within the leagues to clarify the current situation, so that we can provide help and advice to establish the agreed structures of age groups and rules within each league.

A new "Parents Guide" leaflet is now available supplied free of charge by the NEC.

Aimed at both new and existing parents, the colourful leaflet is intended to encourage sporting behaviour and support from parents. Leagues may like to issue it to all their parents at the start of the season - perhaps slipping a copy inside each fixture list, or accompanying the Code of Conduct.

Little League Football fully supports the FA Respect Programme.

Respect is The FA's programme of activities to combat unacceptable behaviour in our game at every level.

The programme will be implemented in professional and grassroots football, and encompasses not only respect towards match officials, but also the conduct of overly-competitive coaches and parents on the sidelines at grassroots youth games.

Don't forget that the NEC has agreed for the time being to subsidise 50% of the course fees paid by active LLF Managers on proof of completion of the the Level One Coaching Course. Apply via your League Secretary.

In Little League Football, the protection of the children comes first. We must check all volunteers through the Criminal Records Bureau. That's not just a Little League rule - it's also the law.

If you haven't yet been checked, the 'Responsible Person' at your League will be in touch with you to help you fill in a form. It takes about 10 minutes of your time, and you will need to show proof of who you are and where you live. There are very strict rules on confidentiality.

The system is designed to stop the wrong sort of person getting involved in children's organisations, and we thank you for your co-operation. If you would like to know more, please ask your Responsible Person in the first place.
