Our club, Bestwood Park Rangers Under 12's, was formed in 1999.Our home ground is based at Bestwood Lodge.
We are managed by Derek Graham, who re-located to Nottingham from South-East Kent in June 2003.
Derek became involved with Bestwood Park Rangers when his son, Ashley, joined the side at the beginning of the 2003/04 season. Following the departure of their long-term Manager, the Club was in danger of folding and Derek was asked if he would step in. So, on the 1st December 2003, he became the Manager and the rest (as they say) is history ... !!!
We started this season as newly promoted to the 1st Division but, things have not been easy and we are currently struggling to find the form which got us promoted in the first place. We have also lost a handful of key players, which hasn't helped !
We are, however, actively searching for new players and anyone interested in joining, or simply coming along for a free training session to check us out should go the 'How to join us' page for further details.
Both the Management Team and parents are highly committed to the future and success of the Club and meet regularly to discuss any issues and ways to strengthen and move the Club forward.
The aim of the Club is to build upon the current levels of skill and fitness, whilst maintaining a good standard of discipline and fun.
We aim to nurture a good team spirit, where praise, encouragement and a positive attitude remain high on our list of priorities. Our players are expected to adopt this approach at all times whilst representing Bestwood Park Rangers.
