St Albans City Youth FC

St Albans City Youth and St Albans City FC in partnership with the St Albans Sport & Health Development Team supported the ‘Lets Kick Racism Out of Football’ campaign with an afternoon of activities at Clarence Park on Tuesday 24th October.

This year’s ‘Kick it Out’ campaign has a new theme, One Game, One Community, with a strong focus on celebrating the contribution made by all communities. With this in mind the initiative is being run in partnership to provide a variety of communities across the City & District of St Albans with the opportunity to take part in anti-racism workshops and football coaching sessions.

Chris Gregory, from St Albans Sport & Health Development Team said: “we hope the rest of the weeks activities will be as successful as todays. Racism is an important issue for the health and future of the game and the country as a whole. So we hope through the weeks activities we can educate local youngsters, whilst getting them active and having fun”.

Dave Wray, Football Development Officer at St Albans City Youth said “we are delighted to be involved in this community event. It was a great fun day for everyone who took part from our local area. By working together in partnership we were able to use our coaches to offer quality coaching sessions and at the same time deliver an important message to our participants”
