Tuesday night saw our final inclusive football session at Elmgreen School.
We had a large turnout for the session and once again welcomed some new faces.
We decided to have a full size match between the young people from Rathbone and The Old Library as a nice way to bring this project to a close.
All the staff got involved although their fitness levels leave a lot to be desired! Poor fitness is no excuse for goal hanging!
The game was played at a fast pace with plenty of communicating, encouragement,quality passing and some great finishes.
We lost track of the score but that didn't matter as we were enjoying ourselves and challenging each other.
As per previous sessions, we ended with a penalty shoot out which was very tense and resulted in some great goals and some horrendous misses, much to everyone's amusement.
Some of us handled the pressure better than others!
We would like to thank The Wembley National Stadium Trust for their funding and support and London Youth.
In particular John Jones from London Youth for his continued support and for always being enthusiastic towards the project and for coming down to see us on a number of occasions. Thank you!
This particular project has been very successful in engaging with young people from all backgrounds and with a range of abilities.
We hope this will continue to be the case in the future and we will be building on the successes throughout the summer.
