Part of Constitution

1. CLUB MISSION STATEMENT

Since its inception in 2014, Dundee Sporting Club has been developed within the city of Dundee. Football at youth level has now been recognised to be an integral part of Scottish football. It has also been recognised that younger ages should be taught the game in a more coherent, tolerant and organised manner.

The club will strive to offer the best coaching techniques, with a modern approach, using the latest equipment to guarantee the continued growth of grassroots football. The club’s goal is to offer football at the lowest cost possible for all members, whilst encouraging all boys and girls throughout Dundee to play organised football, enabling every child to develop and flourish as a player. We will support Dundee Sporting Club volunteers in creating a safe and fun environment to enable them to develop players to their full potential.

The Scottish Youth Football Association (SYFA) controls the administration, education, development and discipline of the game at youth levels. As a result, there is a need for the club to put a more structured constitution in place; a statement of which follows.
