Tonbridge Angels Football Club have recently started a
Community Development Football Scheme which is aimed at getting local youngsters
involved in the game, and potentially uncovering some young talent.
The scheme is
being run at the club and has the backing of the FA. It is being officially
launched on the Bank Holiday Monday first team home fixture against Billericay
Town on April 1st at Longmead Stadium. All under 12’s will have FREE
admission to the ground, as will teachers accompanying children from their
school.
There will be plenty of activities going on during the
afternoon such as a speed gun challenge, beat the goalie, bouncy castle and a
skills competition to mention just a few. There will be some light refreshments
laid on in the clubhouse for children and teachers.
The Tonbridge Angels Football Club Academy will be in attendance and happy to talk to anybody about
their experiences since joining the Academy and the possible benefits to others
of this fantastic local opportunity of fulfilling their dreams.
There are potential benefits to local schools or youth
clubs as well, with weekly prizes awarded which include free admission to a
first team game for up to 50 children! This scheme has potential of moving on in
the future, and with it’s current backing from the FA it is hoped it will benefit
schools in a direct way of offering professional coaching for youngsters at the
schools themselves.
If
you would like more information on this day, information on how to get your
school or youth club involved, anything connected with the Community Development
Scheme or the Academy please contact John Gibbons or Jonny Elwood by email on
