Story
In 2020 these boys formed to start their own minor football team - Southam United U7 Saints. The development they have achieved this year is astonishing... as is their physical growth! Our once loose fitting training kit is now beginning to look like its been sprayed onto some of the boys, and the training equipment now looking well used as you would expect.
Along with footballing and physical development we aim to help them increase their confidence, whilst instilling discipline and teamwork ethics. With this in mind, the boys would like to spend some time throughout July to try to earn some funds to be able to buy themselves a new training kit, and some new training equipment, to help with their continued development.
We hope you will support these boys as they set about earning themselves these invaluable funds by taking on the challenge of cumulatively cycling the distance from our Home ground, Bobby Hancocks Park, Southam - to - Wembley Stadium, London... AND BACK AGAIN!! This equates to an eye watering 17 8miles... or just short of 20 miles for each of the (7 year old) children!
You will be able to follow our progress online too - updates will be posted on a virtual map for all to see and share, as well as via our facebook page.
ps. Please spare a thought for the coaches and parents that will be physically supporting them doing this challenge, as they will also be cycling the distance... but their miles will not count!

Southam United Under-7 Saints
3 years agoToday Byron headed up to the junior pitches at Southam United to clock some more miles - but also to attempt a Strava “SUFC” on his home pitch - what do you think?? 🟡🔵👍🏼 The boys are ticking over nicely and slowly making their way back from ‘virtual’ Wembley now. They are still 4 miles ahead of their daily required miles, so staying on target to hit their distance goal by the end of July! We are also very close to our fundraising target - thank you so much to everyone who has sponsored these little Saints 😇

Southam United Under-7 Saints
3 years agoFirst group get together at Draycote Water saw Byron, Oliver, Ben, Riley, Ethan & Josh rack up an impressive 9.5 miles each towards their target 🙌🏼 Everyone had a great time, with “It’s coming home” and “Wherever we go” songs being enjoyed by all participants and visitors to Draycote Water. Not to be left out, Seb - who was unavailable on Saturday - made the very same journey on Sunday 🙌🏼
