Spurs Away to Fulham!

Fleet Spurs Youth Football Club’s under 8 teams, the Stormers and the Swifts, visited Fulham FC recently and received an hour of top class coaching from Fulham FC’s community coaches.

The photograph below shows members of the 2 under 8 teams with the Fulham mascot, Billy and Fleet Spurs coach Andrew Kern.  After the coaching, the boys all took part in some special competitions that Fulham had laid on for the day with target penalty shoot outs and a special area where all the boys could compete to see who had the fastest shot in the club. Speeds of up to 31 MPH were recorded on the radar system!  After a presentation ceremony and lunch, all supplied by Fulham, the boys then visited Craven Cottage and watched the Premiership match against Blackburn. The game ended in a draw but the Fulham hospitality was a clear winner! 

More trips are planned in the future and next year Fleet Spurs will be looking to set up a third team at this age group enabling even more boys and girls to have fun, play football, and create some good friendships in the safest environment possible.
