Kidderminster Lions Club Tracksuit
Lions and All Electric have put a lot of time effort and money into getting tracksuits for every player registered in the club. They should be arriving shortly.
The tracksuits are the clubs property and should be looked after. Please turn up to games, training and events in your tracksuit but do not train or play in them.
Any player who leaves the club will be asked to return the tracksuit to the Club.

A short time ago Lisa Hollis applied to Barclays ‘Spaces for Sports’, for equipment for the Club. She has now received confirmation that we will be receiving this. Equipment, which amounts to around £750 includes cones, stopwatches, whistles, water bottles and carriers, T shirts, baseball caps and bags. The equipment will be used throughout the Club - look out for some of these items throughout the coming weeks.

Kidderminster Lions held a schools link tournament at the end of February of four local schools, Comberton, Offmore, Spennels and St Johns. Six weeks of coaching finished with a football festival. After some very good matches Spennels won the tournamentand all the children were given medals and goody bags.
