Kick Off for Ball Court League's Autumn Season
The ever popular Bexley Ball Court League's autumn season kicks off from Monday
15 September.
The mixed league is aimed at all youngsters aged 14 -19. So if you have some
spare time on your hands, why not get on down to the regular training sessions
to register and have some fun? You could even develop leadership and team skills
at the same time! Players do not need to wear football strips, as sport bibs
will be provided. Shin pads, however, are required and comfortable clothes recommended.
Credits gained from taking part in the Ball Court League count towards Millennium
Volunteers Schemes, as well as the volunteer sections and physical recreation
sections of the Duke of Edinburgh's Award Scheme. These can be put on CVs or
Records of Achievement to prove at interviews what participants have done in
their spare time!
