⚽🏆 AN EVENTFUL SATURDAY FOR THE FOUNDATION ACADEMY! 🔴⚫
What an action-packed Saturday morning it was for our brilliant Junior Tykes Foundation Academy players, with football taking place both at Academy headquarters and over at Wombwell!
🏟️ UNDER 5s AT WOMBWELL!
While our UNDER 4s remained back at the Academy, our UNDER 5s made the short trip to visit our friends from Wombwell for what turned out to be a fantastic tournament experience.
We proudly sent three teams to represent Junior Tykes — the YELLOWS, WHITES and REDS — and every single player did themselves, their coaches and the club proud.
🟡 YELLOWS CROWNED CHAMPIONS LEAGUE WINNERS! 🏆
A huge WELL DONE goes to our YELLOW team, who produced an outstanding morning of football, winning all of their games and being crowned CHAMPIONS LEAGUE WINNERS!
From the first whistle to the final game, the Yellows showed fantastic teamwork, energy, determination and some brilliant attacking football. For such a young age group, the quality on show was amazing, with some excellent goals, great passing and plenty of smiles along the way.
What a fantastic achievement — CHAMPIONS! 🟡🏆👏
🔴⚪ BRILLIANT EFFORTS FROM OUR REDS AND WHITES!
It wasn’t just the Yellows who impressed, as our RED and WHITE teams also had a morning to be very proud of.
Both teams played some fantastic football, showed great confidence on the ball and worked incredibly hard in every game. There were some brilliant goals, strong tackles, brave defending and lots of moments that showed just how much these players are improving every single week.
A massive WELL DONE to all three teams for representing Junior Tykes in such a positive way. The future is looking very bright! 🌟⚽
👏 A BIG THANK YOU TO WOMBWELL
A huge thank you goes to our friends at Wombwell for hosting a great morning of football and giving our young players the chance to enjoy tournament football in a fun and friendly environment.
Opportunities like this are fantastic for the children’s development, confidence and love of the game.
🏠 BACK AT THE ACADEMY HEADQUARTERS
Meanwhile, back at the Academy, Coach CHRIS stayed behind to lead our UNDER 4s session, and what a brilliant session it turned out to be!
The group welcomed some brand-new faces to the Junior Tykes family, with FILIP, LENNY, TEDDY, RYDER and INARA all making their first appearances.
A massive JUNIOR TYKES WELCOME to you all! We hope your time with the ACADEMY is a long, happy and memorable one. 🔴⚫
👣 UNDER 4s SHOW OFF THEIR FOOTWORK!
Our UNDER 4s worked really hard throughout the morning, focusing on their footwork, movement and confidence with the ball.
It was fantastic to see so many young players getting touches on the ball, listening to the coaches and enjoying themselves out on the pitch. There were plenty of smiles, lots of energy and some brilliant little moments of skill on show.
🏆 MINI TOURNAMENT FUN!
After returning from a successful trip to Wombwell with the UNDER 5s, COACH PAUL joined the UNDER 4s for the second part of their session.
To finish the morning, the players took part in a mini tournament of their own, which was enjoyed by everyone involved. The children showed great enthusiasm, worked hard for their teams and had lots of fun putting their footwork into game situations.
🌟 MVP AWARDS
Our MVPs for today went to HARRISON C and MYLES.
Both players were fantastic throughout the session, showing great effort, energy and attitude.
WELL DONE to both of you — fully deserved! 👏⚽
