Sunderland City Juniors FOLLOW US ONLINE TWITTER.COM/FOOTYFOCUSMAG SCJ mini kickers is held every Sunday at the fabulous St Marks Community Association just off Hylton Road in Sunderland. The session is open to kids from nursery age up to year 1. Our ultimate aim is that Mini Kickers becomes the starting point of a child’s journey with SCJ. The venue has both outdoor and indoor facilities so the weather does not stop us delivering the session, for more info contact the club. “My son, Hugo, had previously tried another club but it didn’t work out for him and then he went to SCJ and is very happy there. He has melt downs every training session but the coaches are amazing and make him giggle in seconds. The club is an important part of the community, also taking part in fundraising activities and my two year old son Theo will be starting when he is old enough. What the club has done is fantastic and I’d like to take this opportunity to wish them the best of luck in everything they do.” Hugo attends the SCJ mini kickers sessions Chris recently told us, “I first became involved with the club around a year ago. It is an amazing club; Phil and Joanne are fantastic people taking the club to the level it is at now with eight teams considering there was only one side eighteen months ago. I teach a goalkeeping academy with the club and it is an honour to be part of what they are doing. It will be exciting to see how they can continue to progress.
