Tots’ soccer academy a year old

Bellgrave Bullets & Longwood Primary School Development Club celebrated their first birthday last week.

DSC02189.JPGI was delighted to join them last Sunday morning at the Rawlett Community College to celebrate a year which has seen tremendous work by the club. The development club, which began in March 2006 and is based at Mile Oak, provides football education to local children of both sexes from 3 - 11 years of age.

DSC02193.JPGThe club’s main focus goes beyond just football training. The kids are taught to be considerate, fair and well mannered with swearing, bad language and any form of agressive behavior strictly forbidden and, if necessary, enforced. Family members and others from the local community are encouraged to take part in all aspects of the Club’s activities.

They really are doing some marvellous things and anyone interested in getting involved should call Lisa Downing on (01827) 735425.

Nice one Matthew!! I see the Belgarve Bulletts are celebrating their “FIST” birthday!! Ha Ha! That’s just what these players are not about! Their clearly stated objectives include fair play, no bad language, respect for officials and opposition. Seriously - Your clearly unintentional “typo” has given me the opportunity to congratulate Lisa and Phil for their remarkable achievement. It is also celebrated on the front page of http://www.fazeley.info

Thanks John, I’ve corrected the typo. You’re right ‘fists’ don’t come into it at this club. Their ethos of fair play and good behaviour is spot on!
