The Reality
A quick visit to the latest crime statistics inEngland and Wales, a quick glance at the
youth unemployment in the United Kingdom
or even a look at the UKs Criminal Damage
and Anti-Social behaviour statistics will tell
you enough about the problems facing young
people around us. The problem leading many
young people to simply being overshadowed
by peer-pressure and slowly glide into the
unthinkable is the lack of engagementbetween them and the wider community. The
only time anybody speaks to them is whenthey are either blamed or they are
somebodies short-term opportunity.
Creating a football club where we enter players into a competitive process that extends
through their personal lives and ensures in them becoming better individuals whilst playing
good football is something we are determined to achieve. We want and believe we can
generate that kind of environment simply because the demand for the game is extraordinary
when the right facilities and attention is available.

The Big Picture
The aim is to provide an inclusive service where young people are given the health benefitsof football and at the same time establish a firm grip of their future. We want to ensure their
academic progression is maximized, their family relations are optimized, they are included in
the wider audience and they benefit others by creating their own supervised projects.

OurVision
Football is important to young people. It gives them a status just like a qualification gives
one. There are many other methods that work to improve the lives of young people but it is
one that works, evidently from our short work. It offers the social entertainment that young
people need to stay both fit and happy, it released them away peer-pressure and steers them
away from crime and anti-social behaviour and above all; it gives us a platform for
developing them.
We want to offer a comprehensive service to our players. We want to turn our small but fast
growing football club into a serious academy that caters for all young people and we want to
heavily invest in the correct programs for developing the personal lives of young people. Ourplans are partially developed and in development continuously and our goal is certainly
achievable and necessary.
