Onside Sports Bulletin
Dear all,
Even though it doesn't feel like we have been long without football, English league football will be starting up again soon, and with this, the Onside Sports leagues also. We are entering into our 5th league of competitive football and if you haven't seen us already, now is your chance to be involved.
If you don't know who or what Onside Sports is, we aim to provide hope through sport, attempting to bridge gaps between communities in different areas of Leeds, encouraging varied ethnicities and religions to play sport together. We also want to provide high quality sports for the marginalised groups in Leeds, and during sport, promoting positive and team play over competitiveness and winning.
The leagues run weekly on a Thursday evening, and we concentrate on promoting a positive attitude while playing football, encouraging players and teams. We do this with the referees praying with teams before the matches and giving each game to God, and constant support and encouragement for players and managers of all the teams..
We celebrate the leagues at the end of each season, with trophy presentations, guest speakers and food, and throughout the year put on social events where teams and players can meet, mix and build friendships.
If this sounds like something you could run through your church, or something that appeals to you as an individual, please get in touch and we can chat about this more!
If you do not have the capacity or resources to bring a whole team along but would still like to be involved, you can play as an individual and we are always looking for match referees and donations to our work.
I look forward to hearing from you soon.
God Bless
Chris Davies
