COALVILLE Futsal team win the prestigious Birmingham Futsal League. ClubFutsalUK is now running a successful development centre at the Hermitage Leisure Centre on Tuesday evenings. As a result of training regularly at this weekly session, Myles Botfield and Matthew Moody both play for the victorious ClubFutsalUK Under 14's team, which recently won the prestigious Birmingham league. This is a weekly competition held at the Birmingham International Futsal Arena. Both Myles and Matthew aged 13 technically u13s Players play regularly for a Sunday 11-a-side team and have found that futsal has vastly improved their ability to understand how to pass the ball, their movement around the pitch and the skills involved in receiving the ball as a result of the highly technical arena of futsal. Futsal is played inside and so it has not suffered the winter weather, with both training and games being played weekly. The sport differs from football and five-a-side because the ball has reduced bounce and heavier ball capabilities. Continued on page 3
To Support Our Brilliant Community
When Castle Rock High School and King Edward VII Community College heard that the community needed some help, the students rallied round to do what they could. In a joint venture students collected non-perishable foods to provide meals for those residents struggling to put food on the table. King Edward students helped the young people of Castle Rock to understand the situation in assemblies and presented the case really well. In conjunction with this project the two schools also collected clothes. These are for local people who are job ready but need something smart to wear at an interview. An enormous amount of items was collected and presented to Councillor Nick Clarke and Charlotte Rowntree of the Agar Nook Community Centre.
Councillor Nick Clarke, Chair of the Agar Nook Community Association, commented that “It is so inspiring and humbling to see young people really making a difference in the community. These kind donations are greatly appreciated and will have a hugely positive impact on the disadvantaged and vulnerable locally.�
