Aims and Objectives
Morden Little League (MLLF) once again met its primary objective of providing free organised football to boys and girls
belween the ages of 7 and 14 years. As in previous years the aim of mass participation Tather than elitism aTJd an emphasis on
equalities and diversity were the guiding principles employed.
Issues and Achievements
We have complied with FA and Little League requirements that now include the position of two League Welfare oificers.
It has been a successful year in both.perfornian¢es on and off the pitch.
The Management Committee have taken the league into its 57 season, we still have the challenges with the local council no
longer providing use of the ground free of charge. Fundraising has had to be stepped up to try and cover of £6500 annually for
the pavilion and l O pitches we use on a Saturday morning. The management committee will be doing everything in its power
to keep this free football going for as long as possible without endangering the leagues survival.
I would like to thank all those that donate their time to voluntary roles with Morden Little League. p8St and presenL and to the
boys and girls who make it all worthwhile.
Overall, over 750 children and over 200 volunteers participated in the Morden Littl¢ League Football over 28 week5, playing
around 450 hours of organi5ed football.
