Three of our staff have had some fantastic news over the past three weeks:

Sam (pictured on the left) has been selected to represent a England C team for two fixtures in the Falkland islands. The team is made up of semi professional players from step 4 and is a great achievement for Sam. After a terrific start to the season with Witham Town, Sam deserves his chance and we wish him all the best for the trip.

Henry (pictured on the left) has been called up to play in an African cup of nations qualifying game for Kenya. He will travel to Nairobi to play against Sierra Leone next week. With the chance to play alongside Victor Wanyama from Tottenham Hotspur, we are sure that Henry will enjoy his first taste of international football. Good luck and safe travels!

Tosin (Pictured on the left) has been hard at work leading his side Haringey Borough to the first round of the FA cup. Playing in step 3 of the Bostik Prem, Haringey are the lowest ranked side to make it to the first round. Tosin will lead his team out against AFC Wimbledon live on BBC 2, on Friday 9th November. Best of luck Tosin!

2018 has been a real success for our team and young players. We have held 9 holiday camps throughout the year are looking forward to our last camp in October half term.

With never ending positive feedback, we are confident that our success will continue and our young players will benefit from making endless childhood memories.

We will be releasing our future camp dates after October half term and we look forward to seeing our regular youngsters along with new young players.

February 13th brought about the first day of our half term camp. The first of 10 football camps in 2018, proved to be another exciting event with over 40 players in attendance. Despite the wet and windy conditions, the young players did not waste one minute hiding from the cold. With smiles on their faces, they all braved the weather in hope that they would leave with one of many prizes, medals or as a world cup winner.

After receiving some fantastic feedback, we are anticipating many players attending our Easter camps and look forward to seeing you all.

This week was the third of our four summer camps at Shenfield High School. As always it was a busy three days with plenty of smiles and celebrations.

The three day camp saw over fifty children between the ages of 4-10 years old in attendance. This brought a lot of activity in the transfer market, for the three day premier league competition that took place after lunch.

The quiz that took place every day was dominated by the summers transfers around Europe and even tested some of the coaches at points.

We are back on Monday 21st August for our fourth and final camp of the summer. Get booking!

Over the past four weeks, we have watched the first set of graduates leave our Mini Kickers class and graduate to Hutton FC. Joining us at the age of four, the young players are now showing off their silky skills on the outside 4G AstroTurf, along with the older boys and girls. The feedback from the parents of the children has been extremely positive and it is clear to see that our Mini Kickers class provided the youngsters with a set of skills, that places them at a level above their playing age.

Our coaches have since reported that they feel the playing level has risen both inside the hall, with the Mini Kickers who have been with us for over a year as well as outside on the AstroTurf, where our new graduates are now based. I think it is safe to say that the futures of these youngsters are looking very bright!

Our football camp during October half term is now a two day camp. It will be running on Monday 24th and Tuesday 25th. The cost is £10 a day for the under 6 morning class, or £18 a day for players looking to book for a full day.

We are already taking bookings and expect high numbers once again. Book your place NOW!!

Two down – one to go!

After two weeks in the glorious sunshine, many of our young players spent their summer holidays having the time of their life. With many familiar faces returning, we have also gained interest from new player and maintained strong numbers all summer.

Because of this – not only do we always provide coaches with the highest qualifications, but we have provided a great coach to player ratio all summer!

Week two also brought the experience of taking part in a photo shoot. We quickly realised that not only did we have some future football players on our hands, but some professional models as well.

We would all like to take this chance to send a big thank you to Carmel Jane Photography. Not only did they provide us with some great photos of the highest quality, but they also made it enjoyable for all children and staff involved.

Our new balls, bibs and t-shirts enhanced the professional feel that we bring to camps. There was a great vibe around the camp during the photos and that carried on throughout the week.

If you are interested in attending our final camp of the summer (22nd-24th August), please contact us via the tab above.
