“My child has found a spot she’s comfortable with in the team that matches her personality. She feels like a team player and is happy to do her part ... she’s gaining a lot of confidence in her defence spot.”
“There is a lovely community around the club and my son has quickly got stuck in and embraced his little team. It’s lovely to see them all interacting with each other and supporting each other. And he’s definitely grown in confidence on the football pitch as a result.“
My child's improved confidence from being in a friendly, supportive team has rippled to all other parts of her life – she is more willing to try new things, has stronger friendships and is stronger and fitter than she has ever been! – thank you THJFC."
