Our U11s and U13s along with their coaches and parents got together yesterday to play a special 'mash up' match on a 3G pitch at Uckfield. There were no league matches on but as all the Colts love playing it seemed like the perfect opportunity to have some fun without worrying about winning or losing.
It was great for the younger players to play with some of the older ones and for all of them to play out of their usual positions and experience something different. The emphasis was most definitely on fun rather than winning … and who had the silliest Christmas outfit. That prize went to Coach Lee with his Santa legs hat!
It was a chilly day but the sun was out and all the parents were in good festive cheer with coffees and hot chocolates on the sidelines to keep warm. The coaches were great sports and played, along with a few of the parents, mixed into the kids’ teams. The adults were taking no prisoners but the kids proved their skills and outplayed them all!
Chailey and Newick Colts FC is so much more than just a football club and we believe in nurturing friendships off the pitch as well as on it, and across age groups as well. Yesterday was a lovely example of that, with Christmas spirit in abundance and smiling faces all around.
We head into the Christmas break now, to rest and recuperate ready to return in January 2025. If you celebrate Christmas, we wish you a merry one and if you don’t, we hope you enjoy the holidays. Thank you for all your support throughout the year and look out for your loved ones over the festive season.
