Bedworth Eagles has a successful year improving its work in the community through fielding 14 junior league football teams together with open Saturday Minisoccer sessions. We catered for children from age 4 to 18, and together with additional children training with our teams, we have been able to engage 200 young people, and an additional 30 weekly through the Saturday Minisoccer Club. Together with the social and other activities we provide, this supported our mission of improving children’s long term health, welfare and social skills. This we provided through the exclusive use of volunteer managers, coaches, officers and trustees of the club. We had a total of 41 accredited volunteers, with all child facing officials having appropriate child protection, first aid and coaching qualifications for their roles. Bedworth Eagles JFC is a 1* England FA accredited Club, affiliated with the England FA and Birmingham County FA, and meeting the highest standard available for our structure. We have a well-functioning organisation with child protection and disciplined football and club development at its heart. Our playing fees are some of the lowest available, and include the provision of kit, making football accessible to even the most disadvantaged children in the area.
The main highlights of the year were:
- The institution of the Bedworth Eagles FC men’s team in the Nuneaton and District Sunday League, coming top of it’s division in the first season. This is an excellent outcome, providing an aim and inspiration for younger teams and support for our organisation.
- The acquisition and installation of a Welfare Building at our Johnson Road ground. This is intended to provide toilet facilities at the ground to improve our facilities for teams and events. We await permission to connect services from our local Nuneaton and Bedworth Borough Council.
- Establishing access to the playing field at Exhall School Specialist School (EGS) to mark and use 11v11 and 9v9 pitches to cope with an increased number of teams.
- Arranging 5v5 play and the use of the 3G surface at St Michael’s Academy for the use of teams playing league games and training.
We have had had to increase spending and investment compared to the previous season, driven by the acquisition of a container at EGS to house equipment (supported by a Football Foundation grant), additional goalposts at EGS, together with associated increased costs of pitch hire, maintenance and restoration. Football Foundation grants previously obtained for pitch restoration tapered towards zero, necessitating the club’s increased spending through time. An important trend is that climate change is driving far wetter winters in our location, leading to a greater number of unplayable grass pitches for many weeks over the winter months. This negates the use of portable floodlights and has driven the hire of synthetic surfaces for training, further adding to costs. To respond to this, the club is looking to have greater access to synthetic surfaces in coming years.
