Enjoyment, fun and the chance to progress
The Swindon Town Football in the Community Trust provides a significant programme in Girls Football in Swindon and its surrounding areas.
From playing for fun through to the Centre for Football Excellence the Trust offers Girls in the area the chance to improve on their football skills such as balance, awareness, co ordination and communication skills.
The program gives many of the girls their very first experience of participating within a professional football coaching session and in competitive matches.
Shane Hewlett, co-ordinator for our Girls Centre for Football Excellence, would in particular like to thank ‘TRAK Employment’ and ‘Verologik IT Solutions’ for their support on this valued programme. Both companies are essential on maintaining the standard and growth of this important project.
Carl McCulloch, Joint Managing Director of TRAK Employment has quoted the following; ”When TRAK Employment was presented with the opportunity to fully support the STFITC Girls Development Programme, we were absolutely delighted and jumped at the chance. Having been a supporter of the Community Trust for many years in one gesture or another, we have watched as all aspects of this programme have developed under the watchful eye of Jon, Clive and Shane and of course the rest of the team in the office. Knowing Shane Hewlett very well on a personal level, has meant I have been able to witness first-hand the passion, pride and determination that has gone in to making the Girls Programme such a success. Although it’s still growing, I think its safe to say it has been a success to date with new centres and age groups opening all the time. The culmination of all the hard work of course is the Gothia Cup in Sweden each year, and I am sure that in coming years, Shane and the team at STFITC will take a team all the way to the trophy.”
