The Westend under 6’s basked in the winter sunshine and had great fun football again this weekend. With a number of debutants joining in the fun six eager teams fought out some very close matches.

   
 

 

Performance of the day went to Oliver Wilkinson who scored 7 goals and never stopped running for the Leopards who managed to win all 5 matches.

   
 

 

The 'Cross Bar Challenge' is warming up with Sam Mindham, Eoin Doran, Jada Simon and Henry Green all successfully striking the bar.

   
         
         
         
     
 

Shaping The Future!

 
 

 
  Nick Levett the FA's Youth and Mini Football National Development Manager is pictured  with a bunch of Westend players at a recent question and answer session in Huddersfield.  The FA are  travelling round the country to listen to young children and hopefully  make changes that will ensure  they gain even more enjoyment from playing football with their local team.  
  He was very pleased with the support he received saying:" It was nice to  listen to the Westend youngsters commenting on their experiences at junior football."   Nick continued:" The FA are looking at various ways to improve grassroots football and  it is very important that the views of the players are taken into consideration before any  changes are made".  
  Westend FC would like to thank those players and parents who gave up their time to support this initiative.  
     

Back In Action!

Harry and Smiling Ubisi, two brothers from Hluvukani Village are making concrete steps toward improving and giving hope to their rural community. What started out as two people wanting to make a difference, giving young boys the opportunity to play soccer in a safe environment and provide them with guidance and support has grown by leaps and bounds. Harry and Smiling’s dreams of revitalising their village are slowly taking form.

Hluvukani is a rural village situated at the foothills of the Drakensburg Mountain range in Mpumalanga Province of South Africa and is affected like so many other rural areas by unemployment, poverty and HIV/Aids. Harry and Smiling started encouraging young boys to play soccer as a means of keeping them motivated and out of mischief. Now they not only help the boys with their soccer skills they have made incredible progress in establishing a vegetable garden that will assist the community by providing additional food resources and social support.

In February 2008, Sheila Webster spent her holiday sewing bibs for the team from fabric purchased by the Transboundary Elephant Research programme. A total of 48 bibs were distributed to the team in April 2008. The boys are now able to practice defence tactics for different positions and this is helping to up their game for competitions.

In September some of the funds donated to the project were used to purchase fifteen new leather soccer balls and forty training cones. Harry handed these out to a crowd of enthusiastic children when he went home on leave. All of the sports equipment purchased or donated is being kept at Harry’s house under the watchful eye of his wife Flossy and is handed out before practice sessions whenever time is available.

Since the new balls and training cones now form part of the regular practice sessions, Harry has implemented a number of training exercises he learnt on a Tanda Tula soccer workshop.

 
     
 
 
     
 

The future is bright at Westend!
