Youngsters benefit from free leadership course

Twelve youngsters from the Christ Church Youth Centre in Ashford took part in a free sports leadership course last Friday. Funded by The Mercers’ Company this course is just the first of several running across the County this summer, and targeted those competing in the annual Community Wardens’ Football Tournament.  Funding was gained by Sports Leaders UK and delivery was through the Kent Sports Leadership Project.

Those attending learnt various skills including communication and how to organise small activities. 

Course organiser Stuart Butler was pleased with the turnout commenting “12 youngsters gave up their time and their commitment throughout was excellent”. At the end of the course one youngster, Mark Hilden, was presented with two tickets to watch any Ashford Town FC game this coming season because of his efforts on the day.
