Story

The event involves each player (in their Spennymoor Kit) having a football each during the activity. Each player will be challenged to choose one of a variety of challenges (below) linked to juggling a football with their feet, thighs, shoulders etc. NO HEADING and to be sponsored for taking part in the event. Sponsorship can be individually or as a collective team via our designated just giving page. The team who raises the most sponsorship –collectively will win a training session with our first team manager Tommy
Miller! All sponsorship raised will go towards the
Head for Change ‘Honour our Heroes’ Campaign to support the research, education and awareness of the Head for Change campaign. Players (Parents) are encouraged to choose one of the below challenges. The challenge will be undertaken at OUR training ground, under
supervision of team coaches, on the time stipulated above. Parents are encouraged to support with the counting of kick ups for their child (younger age groups). Challenges have been designed to enable all players to take part at their own level.

The Head for Change Honour our Heroes (HoH) campaign is to honour the 1966 England football team on the 55th anniversary of them winning the FIFA World Cup for the only time in history. We appreciate them for being the group that has raised awareness of the incidence of neurodegenerative disease in ex players from a personal story level. Due to the high proportion of players from the 1966 team who are living with neurodegenerative disease or who have sadly died of these causes, they are helping bring about change to help present and future players.Head for Change aims for the HoH campaign are:* to engage football clubs, sporting clubs, communities and individuals to Be Active - and Be Part of the Solution for the month of July whilst fundraising.* to educate that a lifetime of brain safe activity can help protect your brain from dementia* to build awareness of neurodegenerative disease in ex-players.* to build support for Head for Change and to make sport safer
