Chaddleworth Sets up Free Football Coaching
Chaddleworth recreation ground opened in September 2010 and two local fathers set about organising regular football training to make the most of the space by providing free football coaching for 4-10 year olds.The first winter was fairly bleak with just seven regulars but today the number is closer to thirty regular attendees. The Club's focus has been to provide a fun and sage environment for boys and girls to learn 'the beautiful game' whilst teaching them to respect themselves and others.
Supported by four coaches the age groups are now split; with a reception and year 1 session and under-8 and under-9's teams performing drills and playing games on the shared space. Three years on the Club is now called Chaddleworth Kites FC and is self-funded through donations and grants.
Regular friendlies are played against local villages and a few tournaments entered throughout the last year. Progress is evident; at the beginning of the year a draw in a game was seen as a good result however recently the team has gone from strength to strength beating local rivals and winning a winter tournamenet!
