<strong>Redbridge</strong> <strong>Sports</strong> & <strong>Leisure</strong><br />

Jack Petchey<br />

The evening of Monday 17th September<br />

2007 saw 17 local children receive<br />

achievement awards for their<br />

commitment to their chosen sport.<br />

All the children train at <strong>Redbridge</strong><br />

<strong>Sports</strong> and <strong>Leisure</strong>, which is one of over<br />

1,000 clubs participating in the Jack<br />

Petchey scheme within London and<br />

West Essex. The scheme provides over<br />

£1m each month in support of sports<br />

clubs and schools, and is aimed at<br />

Young People aged between 11-25.<br />

One winner was Matt Gillingham, an 18<br />

year old former Trinity Catholic School<br />

student, who combines a part-time<br />

football coaching role at the Centre,<br />

alongside playing for newly promoted<br />

Dagenham & <strong>Redbridge</strong> F.C. His<br />

passion for football and sport in general<br />

helps to inspire the young children he<br />

coaches, and his award will help provide<br />

additional equipment for the children to<br />

help aid their own development.<br />

The presentation evening was<br />

organised by Gemma Sewell (Assistant<br />

Manager, <strong>Outdoor</strong> <strong>Sports</strong>), was hosted<br />

by Matt Reynolds (Assistant Manager,<br />

Business Development) and the awards<br />

were presented by Norman Booth<br />

(Chairman). Chris Bullock, the<br />

represent received a cheque for<br />

£200, with the winner asked how<br />

they would like the money to be<br />

spent. The picture above features<br />

some of the winners:<br />

year olds to join our development<br />

programme on Saturday mornings<br />

on our Astroturf pitches. The<br />

programme is run by FA qualified<br />

coaches who are fully CRB checked<br />

and Child Protection certified. The<br />

development programme is geared<br />

around individual technique to help<br />

young players be more comfortable<br />

with a football. All players receive a<br />

free ball upon joining, which they<br />

keep and use to complete fun tasks<br />

set by the coaches to maximise noncontact<br />

time. Our affiliation with<br />

Newbury Forest Football Club<br />

means players can join a team and<br />

enter into fun, yet competitive<br />

matches to further their learning and<br />

development.<br />
