We have planned 2 bag packs at our local supermarket, . The vast majority of our squad have been together 2-3 years and all attend schools in the croydon areas, with Elmhurst School for Boys being the majority. We have coached this squad voluntarily since the very beginning and through our own hard work over these years we have kept the nucleus of the team together. Most of our past and current squad members are all residents in croydon and as some of you may be aware croydon has a lot of social housing and a lot of run down council estates where most of our players come from. Each year through our own fundraising we have managed (only just) to provide the boys with a new kits, although this has been funded by sponsorship through connections from ourselves most of the time we have still had to purchase other essential football equipment. We have always taken the squad away at the end of every season to either Butlins on a UK soccer camp or Flamingo Land for a weekend camping. This provides some of the squad the only chance to leave croydon on what they would consider a holiday. We believe that this trip would help them not only socially but also on the acedemic aspects aswell. We hope this covers all our hopes and aims and gives you an insight into what we hope to achieve and that you can help towards this goal. We are very passionate about this squad as keeping them together playing football and having a bit of structure is keeping them from hanging about on the streets and maybe getting themselves into trouble or worse.
