Tonbridge Angels Football Club Academy

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 1^st 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 galaxytrainingltd@gmail.com or tafccommunityfootball@hotmail.co.uk.
