On Line Chat [24 Aug @ 2:43pm]
Warning!! On Line Chat. Of late the KCFA has been most concerned with what appears to be the misuse of internet ‘chat’ sites. The internet is integral to the lives of children of all ages. It opens new opportunities, and is used for homework, to talk and share materials with friends or for a multitude of other uses that are legitimate and beneficial in so many ways. Indeed, most Leagues and Clubs have their own websites to enable players, officials and other interested parties to look up fixtures and latest scores, league tables and promotional materials of the Clubs, often accompanied by photos of teams and some fantastic action shots of matches and memorable goals! All this carried out, we trust, within the FA’s Safeguarding Children in Football Best Practice guidelines ‘Celebrating Football through Photographs and Video’. However, it has been brought to the attention of the KCFA that online chat sites have been misused by players in the name of their clubs. One of the sites used is a public site and can be viewed by anyone using the internet including young players. A recent concern raised with KCFA highlighted the inappropriate use of a particular public site by some individuals set up in the name of their clubs. (A practice which is sometimes unknown to the club). The messages left were foul, abusive and very aggressive. These were players from various clubs goading and antagonising each other prior to matches. Therefore, instead of turning up to a football match for a competitive, fair game of football, they are taking their aggression instigated online onto the football field. This is totally unacceptable and will not be tolerated by the KCFA. The KCFA request that you draw to the attention of all players the provisions of KCFA rule 8 which may be found on page 50 of the current KCFA handbook. We will monitor such sites and the severest action will be taken against any participants who breach rule 8 and in doing so act in a manner considered to be improper and not in the best interest of the game. Your urgent attention to this matter is greatly appreciated. Yours faithfully, Keith Masters Chief Executive
Player scam. [23 Aug @ 10:00pm]
From League Welfare Officer - Please Read I have received the following warning from the FA. Young players, Clubs and parents are advised about a scam that the FA has recently been made aware of. Persons purporting to be licenced agents are sending emails promising trials with various Clubs, using details from the list of licenced agents on the FIFA website, www.fifa.com. The Clubs themselves have no knowledge of the potential 'trials'. The scam appears to work around promising trials to young players with various Clubs and then ask for payment in advance to cover 'insurance and travel'. Once the payment has been sent, no more is heard. Anyone who is the victim of this scam should contact their local police. We do not wish to cause any alarm but it is important this message reaches the players and parents that are being targeted. Thank you for your urgent attention to this concern. Julie Hoare - Kent Youth League Welfare Officer
