This is our TUFTY Club section. The TUFTY Club (Thorplands United Football Training For Youngsters) was the brainwave of our Youth Secretary Paul Foster. It is aimed at 5 and 6 year olds to have fun and learn new skills while preparing to become next seasons under 8's team. It is also used for young coaches to get involved and take their first step into coaching while being mentored by an older coach. Our latest recruit Darren Kahan is progressing through the ranks after playing in our under 16 team last season. Darren will take his level 1 coaching badge and then move on with next seasons under 8's. This is a great opportunity for both the youngsters and Darren to develop together, and they look a promising team for next season.
