Kickstart Youth Football League

We are very proud to announce that KicKStart Youth Football League have recieved one of the prestigious FA REFEREE RECOGNITION AWARDS this week during the awards ceromony at Wembly Stadium, receiving the "Positive Environment Award" for our work with the referees in our league. It was said that "the league have gone above and beyond providing additional training and workshops to help referees develop and providing a mentor scheme which provides support and encouragement to all associated referees"

Kickstart are just one of two leagues in the country to have ever picked up one of these "Highly Commended" awards for providing a positive environment for referees. League Chairman Paul Griffiths said after the awards ceromony, "We're over the moon to receive this award. This award was received by ourselves tonight but is dedicated to the hard work that the referees mentor team, and referees secretary have done over the past seasons. Its great for everyone to be recognised for their hard work and we're looking forward now to what the season ahead holds for everyone, its a very presigeous acheivement and were proud to be a part of it"

The new season starts in September and the development workshops are already in place for the new referees that join us as well as our current experienced officials for next season.

Hi All,
We would like to extend our gratitude to each and every one of you for your fantastic support this Sunday across all of our venues. Every home team was given a scratch card to complete at your games by both teams and your generosity was unbelievable.

You have managed to raise a massive £1250.00 and there are still a few who have taken the card away as they did not manage to complete it on the day, so there's even more to come.

Although we're all passionate about our wonderful game and there may be a bit of rivalary between teams, when it really matters you have all come together as one community to help each other. We are so proud of the people we have in our league. Thank You.

Im sure the funds raised will help little Harry and his family get through this difficult time and we hope to see HB back on the pitch soon.

Also a massive shout out to Ashfield Athletic for their support for HB and also for their amazing fundraising cake stall which also raised over £1250.00 on Sunday at Manor Park

Your All Amazing
