Wyesham Wanderers Junior Football Club

This is to be a community based project as well as just playing football.

It is open to everyone from the age of 5 upwards regardless of sex, religion, colour and ethic group.

We have partnered up with the school to help the kids in a number of ways:

It gives the kids a great understanding of team spirit and team building. This will hopefully take them on through to secondary school.

They will obviously be getting exercise, fresh air and get them off the old computer games for an hour or so.

They would improve their football skills, which would benefit the school also.

We hold fundraising events, which the kids love - we are currently putting together an Easter egg hunt and have already had a disco for the kids. We are talking about summer trips down to the coast and other trips and activities.

There is not a great deal for the kids of Wyesham to do so this is something extra and was why the club was created.

It promotes family culture, as many parents would be involved and watching.

We intend to hold quiz nights and other events for the parents

Matches usually take place on a Sunday morning and we would be in the east Gwent league. Every child who turns up on the Sunday will be getting a game.

Training currently takes place on a Thursday evening from 6-7 at a cost of £1.00 per person on the boys school Astroturf

Obviously we are a non-profit club so any monies raised go back into the club and community. We are always looking for sponsors and Royal Mail and Mel Wheeler of MGM sports have already sponsored two sets of kit, we have also had the Astroturf paid for by the senior team. Clare, the owner of the new chocolate shop (the Cacao Tree ) in Monmouth is going to provide a little bag of chocolates for one of the teams at home games. We must also thank the Monmouth Show committee for allowing the teams to use their ground for the pitches. We are always on the look out for new sponsors to help with the fiancés of the club - please contact Jason Davies by e-mail jasonsfamily@tiscali.co.uk for more information.

This obviously takes a great deal of organisation so I would plead with parents to put yourself forward for one of the many roles available e.g. Coaching the kids, referees, team mangers, caterers, social event organisers etc. If you are able to help please contact Jason using the above e-mail address.

All involved are already proud of the boys and girls and what has already been achieved. We look forward to a prosperous first season.
