Excelsior Academy - Oct 23
⚽️⚽️⚽️The Year 5/6 EFA squad played in their first set of games last night, for many their first ever competitive game! The students represented the academy with great enthusiasm, commitment and professionalism throughout the fixtures. Across all matches, the players demonstrated excellent teamwork, communication and a positive attitude, reflecting the values we promote within the Football Academy.
There were some outstanding individual and team performances, with players showing increasing confidence both in possession and when defending. It was particularly pleasing to see students applying skills practised during training sessions, including “Getting sticky”, “Showing feet” and ‘Shaking loose” (Please ask any player for what that means!)
Beyond the results, the players should be commended for their sportsmanship, respect towards opponents and officials, and their willingness to encourage one another. These qualities are just as important as performance outcomes and are a key part of our academy culture.🌟🌟🌟
