Sheffield Wednesday helping city bring ‘wow factor’ to the community

The programme launches on September 20th, and is designed for both boys and girls who are aged between 5-14 years old, and the aim is to ‘help develop the fundamental movements through a fun football environment’, as well as become a ‘great way to help improve children's social skills’.

It’s the latest venture from the Owls to do their bit for youngsters in the city as they seek to play their part in helping mould Sheffield’s future, and the SCT feel that teaming up with the Owls gives them an added boost.

David Bly, from the Sheffield City Trust, said of the programme, “Sheffield City Trust are delighted to extend our long-standing partnership with Sheffield Wednesday Community Programme through the development centres... We wanted to re-launch our football offer and bring a wow factor to it. By working with SWFC, and using our fantastic facilities, we believe this has been achieved.”

Meanwhile, Marcus Brameld, the Head of Community at Wednesday, said, “We are extremely excited to partner with Sheffield City Trust to create opportunities for talented young players across the city. Young players will have the opportunity to receive professional coaching in a safe and welcoming environment.”
