Frame Football Development Day 

The first frame football development day took place on Sunday the 8th July at St Georges Park. 38 Frame Footballers from 5 clubs across the country came together to take part in the Richard Seedhouse memorial cup in age groups 5-8’s, 9-12s, and 13-16 year old’s. The event was support by 10 team managers as well as 6 volunteers from the Frame Football Foundation, Quest 88, St Johns Ambulance, and Smile for a Child. Owen Aiston Chairman of the English Schools FA also came along to the event after being inspired by the Frame Football on show at The FA’s Disability Cup in June.

Throughout the 4 hour event the teams took part in 10 minute games competing to be crowned champions. After fantastic skills on show throughout the age groups the overall winners were:

5-8 age group – Kings Hill

9-12 age group – Hucknall Rolls Royce

13-16 age group – Basildon

The event was a great opportunity to look at the adapted format of football and consult with players, coaches and families on the development of rules and laws of the games.

The next Frame Football Development Day take place on the 30th September at St Georges Park. If you would like more information, or to attend please contact Lisa.morton-Smith@cpsport
