The ‘Tottenham Hotspur Community Football League’, which runs in partnership with the Metropolitan Police and Haringey Council, runs every Friday evening from 5.30pm – 8.30pm at the Duke’s Aldridge Academy, adjacent to our new stadium development. Local Under-14 teams play in the league and compete against each other each week.
As well as providing a space for youngsters to play football, the programme organises workshops for the teenagers to discuss the challenges they face in the community and gives them practical tips to overcome these issues. These sessions are designed to build the self-esteem and confidence of the youngsters, helping them to get back into education, training or employment and steering them away from potential unemployment or crime.
