Children & Youth Football

“The football is a key part of our outreach. It’s had a big influence on disaffected boys off the estate like Barry. When he first started he would always be late or not even show up. He had a fight in his first game, would often act aggressively and use offensive language. Through the football he has changed so much, he’s often early, displays self-control and discipline, he has always been a leader but now he’s a positive role model.” James Brown, Youth Pastor Frampton Park Baptist Church

Playing football is a great way to build friendships and trust with children and youth in your community. We have often seen it as a way not only to interact with the young people but eventually the family as they hear the positive stories from the children and youth who attend the sessions.
