Amman Valley soccer treat
Youngsters from across the Amman Valley are being urged to pull on their football boots for a kick around this half-term.
A five-a-side football tournament is being held at Amman Valley Leisure Centre on Thursday, February 18.
Funded by Carmarthenshire’s Community Safety Partnership and organised by the council’s sports development section, police and Communities First in the area, the tournament is open to pupils from Year 7 to Year 10.
The event is being advertised in local schools and youth clubs and if it is a success it could be repeated during other school holidays with a range of sports.
The aim is to give youngsters something to do during the holidays; to attend an organised event and encourage them to keep active – with at least 60 minutes of physical activity five times a week.
Community safety manager Kate Thomas said: “The partnership is delighted to fund this initiative. It is important to provide a range of organised activities for young people, particularly during the school holidays when anti-social behaviour incidents in the county can peak.
“Increasing the provision of youth diversionary projects for young people will help make the county a safer and happier place to live for everyone.”
The Community Safety Partnership was set up to tackle crime and disorder problems throughout Carmarthenshire and includes the county council, police, fire and rescue service, local health board and others.
For further information on the tournament or to pre-register contact the council’s 5x60 officer Aled Parry on 07795302586 or talk to your youth club leader.
