The Milton Rangers Football Club was formed to provide primary school children with a structured and disciplined environment for learning and enjoying the development of association football skills.
Time and Place
The Club meets regularly at 10.00 am on Saturday mornings at the Milton School Primary playing fields on Humphries Way, Milton. Sessions last for 90 minutes and end at 11.30 am. The season comprises five half term school periods of approximately five or six sessions each and commences at the start of the new September term.
Aims
The aims of the Club are:
- To encourage and facilitate Milton Primary School children to learn the skills of association football in a friendly, enjoyable and fun environment.
- To employ a structured approach that instills discipline, respect and good sportsmanship in children learning football.
- To prepare primary school children to a level of football skill where they can confidently participate in secondary school sessions.
- To facilitate the graduation of talented Under 8's to the Milton Colts section of the village football club.
- To organise the occasional friendly matches against other primary school football club teams.
- To be affiliated to the Cambridgeshire Football Association and to abide by its rules and regulations.
Eligibility
All children, both boys and girls, attending Milton Primary School are eligible to join the Club whether or not they reside in Milton. Children of primary school age not attending the school but resident in Milton are also eligible. Finally, the Club committee reserves the right to admit a limited number of children not eligible under the above terms but who are friends of children that are automatically eligible.

Structure and Principles
The Club is run entirely by parents of the participating children. Players are divided into four groups according to age as follows:
| YELLOW | Reception and Year 1 | Classes 1,2,3 and 4 | Ages 4,5 and 6 |
| RED | Year 2 | Classes 5 and 6 | Ages 6 and 7 |
| GREEN | Year 3 | Classes 7 and 8 | Ages 7 and 8 |
| BLUE | Years 4,5 and 6 | Classes 9 and 14 | Ages 8 to 11 |
Depending on numbers each group may be split into two. Where appropriate children may participate in a higher or lower age group - judgement will always take aptitude and safety into consideration and the decision of the Group Coach will be final.
The sessions are split into three 30 minute periods as follows:
| Period 1 | Warming up, including controlled stretching and aerobics, finishing with some competitive relay races that incorporate dribbling skills |
Period 2 | Specific skills coaching, including passing, dribbling and shooting |
Period 3 | Game played in the above groups, limited usually to 4 or 5 players in each side to ensure full participation by all players |
MILTON RANGERS FOOTBALL CLUB IS AFFILIATED TO CAMBRIDGESHIRE FOOTBALL ASSOCIATION.
