The Football in the Community Team have been very busy delivering quality football coaching to all ages.

With the vital help of our community volunteers, Deb and Paul Harrison, we have been providing a variety of projects to the local community.

Happy Feet Soccer School

The Saturday morning Soccer School is still proving to be very popular. Children between the ages of five to 16 can turn up and join in for just £3 a session and it is not compulsory to turn up every week.

The Community Team delivered nine full days of Soccer fun during the Summer holidays, spanning over three weeks. Coaches and children alike had a great time using their soccer skills as well as their ‘brains’ solving puzzles. No tears were seen during these sessions (well apart from a couple of the male coaches!!)

A big thank you to two of our first team players, Jamie Allen and Kane Richards, for attending, handing out certificates and making the children’s day.

Another thank you goes to Captain Crab who side stepped along to the presentations.

 Walking Football (Men 50+)

This great initiative was set up in February with the help of coaches Graham and Richard who give up their Sunday mornings to work alongside this energetic bunch of chaps (the fun and laughter can be heard for miles).

Its not all fun though, they arrive at the Centre Spot after an hours training and a game of football, for a well earned cup of tea and choccie biscuits along with some social time and a catch up.

Walking Football (Women 40+)

This will be starting in the next few weeks.
