<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 />

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 />
