Great Ponton playing fields are 15 acres of brilliant space where we would like to develop top class football facilities and a club house/pavilion for the use of the community and players. We would link with the local clubs and schools to ensure the maximum amount of people benefited from this facility. The aim would be to start more teams that would be based there from U6's through to an adults team for boys and girls.
What we'll deliver:
Why it's a great idea:
The community is really laking a sporting facility and the youth in the area have nowhere to enjoy. This is critical to their future health and well being. There used to be an active club but it has died away when the volunteers stopped. It needs to be reactivated before it becomes derelict.
Steps to get it done:
This facility will be a part of our full time scholarship programme enabling us to open the scholarship to more people which will increase jobs, and give more coaches an opportunity to work full time with the Academy.
