The World Cup Cymru Soccer School held, by Holyhead Hotspur Peibio Youth, in partnership with the Welsh Football Trust, at the Oval at the end of July was a resounding success. Seventy five boys and girls took part in the two day free event which enjoyed blue skies and a feast of football.

On the back of this summer's World Cup all the kids enjoyed emulating their international heroes by taking part in the mini World Cup tournament and honing their soccer skills in the coaching sessions. Feedback from the kids and parents alike has been excellent and thanks must go to the Holyhead coaches who gave their spare time to support this event.

Mark Owen; Hotspur’s Fun Football Co-ordinator said “by organising football schools we coaches can help in the development of these children. Football is an incredible game and more and more children are playing in the park or in their back gardens. By running football schools we can structure the players’ development in a safe and controlled environment. At our football school we had seventy five boys and girls aged between 5 and 13 take part in fun related football activities. The event was a massive success; everybody behaved excellently and respected the coaches. On day 2 of the school we had a mini world cup tournament, Spain defeating Germany in the final. Everybody who attended received a certificate for their efforts.”

The third and final day of the 2010 Holyhead Tournament saw the older boys out in the bright and breezy conditions.

The Under 14's had nine teams playing out a league format with the top two playing a final. Llangoed had brought along two teams, remarkably both making it to the final. Llangoed AAA beating Llangoed XXX by a single goal.

The six Under 16's teams battled it out; Bodedern beating Glantraeth in one semi; and both  Holyhead Hotspur Peibio sides facing each other in the other semi. It took a penalty shootout to separate the home sides. It was a Bodedern v Holyhead Hotspur B final. Another really close match, neither side scoring in normal time, extra time or golden goal. Another penalty shootout. Holyhead took the prize.

A really good tournament. A big thank you to everyone who helped out, either behind the scenes, officiating, in the shop, burger van or helping out in whatever capacity. Thank you to all the teams, coaches, parents and players for taking part throughout this year's event. Hope to see you all again next year.

Typical Anglesey weather on the second day. A range of wet conditions form light drizzle to torrential downpours; but it didn't dampen spirits one bit.

The Under 11's had two fairly competitive groups with a total of 12 teams scoring 68 goals throughout the course of the day. Both Holyhead Hotspur teams reached the semi final stages, but were knocked out by Amlwch Town and Broughton Super Saints Athletic. A closely contested final saw Broughton win through by a single goal.

There were 61 goals scored by the 10 Under 12s teams.  It was Ysceifiog Wovles v Ysceifiog Foxes in one semi, with Holyhead Hotspur Peibio v Amlwch Blues in the other. The final saw Holyhead take on Ysceifiog Foxes, a single headed Foxes goal from a corner separating the teams in the end.

A great day despite the weather. It's Under 14's and Under 16's next Saturday (12th June).

06/06/2010

A really successful first day. The Under 7's seemed to have enjoyed their festival of football. Loads of smiling kids going home clutching their medals, many with painted faces and colourful hair.

A total of 89 goals scored in the Under 9's age group.  The semi finals were contested by Holyhead Hotspur Peibio B v Llandudno FC; and Amlwch Town v Bodedern A. It was a really close final between Amlwch Town and Llandudno FC. Llandudno wining through in the end with a single extra time goal.

A fantastic atmosphere played out in good spirits. Well done everyone.

This season's Fun Football Easter Soccer School was another resounding success. With almost 60 children attending the three day event, the clouds and rain just about held off on the first day, but the last two days were played out in glorious sunshine.

The children were split up into four teams (Argentina, Brazil, Germany and Spain) and competed in a mini football tournament and quizzes. Spain were the overall winners, but everyone went home with a trophy and certificate for their efforts.

Another three day Soccer School will be held in the October week school holidays. Please contact our Fun Football Co-ordinator if you would like to reserve an early place for your child.

It has been confirmed that Holyhead Hotspur Peibio Youth has achieved silver accreditation through the FAW / McDonald’s Club Accreditation scheme.

This award comes in recognition of the standards that the Club has reached as an organisation in relation to its administration and structure and for placing the safety, welfare and enjoyment of players at the centre of the Club’s philosophy and constitution.

All persons involved with the Club who have access to children and young people participate in the FAW national CRB programme. This means that all coaches and managers are formally checked by the Criminal Records Bureau before they are allowed access to children. All coaches must complete the Football Leaders Award and FAW Emergency Aid Award (or equivalent First Aid Award) as a minimum requirement. They are actively encouraged by the Club to attend FAW Child Protection & Welfare Courses as well as attaining further coaching qualifications.

Dylan Edwards, Hotspur’s Youth Secretary and Under 7’s coach said: “Running a junior football club like Holyhead Hotspur Peibio can be very challenging and requires a lot of dedication and hard work from everyone involved. We are particularly lucky at Holyhead, because we have a very dedicated, experienced and motivated team of volunteers and coaches who are constantly pushing the Club forward to new heights. It’s not all about turning up on a weekend and watching kids kicking a ball around a field. It’s also about training schedules, organising, arranging kit and equipment, attending meetings, courses, events and fund-raising which can often be overlooked. It’s good to receive recognition for this hard work by FAW / McDonald’s, but the real reward comes from seeing the development of players that have come through the ranks of the Holyhead youth system.

He added: “2009 was a good year for the Club. We were the first Club in Wales to qualify for the Fun Football Accreditation; we had our best trophy success of any previous season (7 in total); Club funds were boosted by a number of successful events; we had a team representing the Club at a tournament in Wembley; and we achieved bronze accreditation status. 2010 already looks bright for Holyhead Hotspur Peibio; our Fun Football Accreditation is being renewed by the FAW Trust and in addition we are now a silver accredited club.”
