This year has been very different due to covid-19 so we have been celebrating #FootballPeople online through zoom and socially distanced outside. Here are some of our thoughts about what makes football great. Thank you Farenet for supporting us during #FootballPeople.

“Football is the only language that the whole world understands. It is the language of communication that unites all creatures and nationalities in one cooperative team dominated by love and respect.” – Fabien and Fahad

“Even if you don’t know how to play football, you know how to kick the ball and it’s good exercise.” – Dennisse

“Football is life because when I play I forget everything, everything sad, I focus on the ball” – Saman

“I enjoy football because it unites people and brings friendship with different people from different countries” – David

We had a great afternoon of socially included (distanced) football fun for #FootballPeople weeks – It was so nice to bring some of our footballers together, to see lots of smiles and laughter! Thank you Farenet for supporting us during #FootballPeople.

On Saturday we held a tournament for #FootballPeople week. We are very proud of Learn for Life United who got into the finals after winning 2 games. Thank you to Cornerstone Day Centre & Safe Haven, Doncaster Conversation Club, Good Things Foundation, Sheffield City Council and Mount Pleasant Park FC who all came to play. Thank you to our volunteer referees, friends and supporters who came to support! More photos can be seen on our Facebook page here.

As part of #FootballPeople week we have been empowering our footballers at Learn for Life. On Saturday we had a tournament inviting teams from in and around Sheffield including Doncaster Conversation Club, Cornerstone Day Centre from Manchester, Good Things Foundation, Brunsmeer Awareness, TT Electronics and DINA. The tournament was well attended, food was shared and good fun was had! The tournament was set up as a league with each team playing two games followed by the final. Learn for Life United won their first game 3 – 0, drew their 2nd game 2 -2, won the penalty shoot out and then won the final game 6 – 1 bringing the trophy (and medals) home! We are all really proud of what the team achieved showing real team working skills, confidence and determination. There are more photos from the tournament on our facebook page here.

We play Football every Tuesday at Learn for Life all through the year. If you would like to join, meet us at 3pm at reception with suitable shoes.

Now Ramadan has finished we are back at U-Mix playing football every Tuesday from 4pm. Ask at reception if you want to join or meet us at 3:30 at Learn for Life on Tuesday.
