The last Teen Kick Off of the 2011 season saw 20 lads form 4 teams for a round robin league. A great atmosphere was created through music and other team support from the balcony and stands – plus siblings and parents cheering on their sides!

With around 8 new players this time, it was interesting to see some man-marking enter the game. Each team having their own manager/coach is creating a large fun element with some unique encouragement and tactic-talking going on. Congrats to the winning team ‘The Brodie Boys’ and man of match Matt.

It’s never too late in the year for ice cream and the quiz/team talk explored our Walks of Life – about half the lads attending were unchurched and we were able to have some great discussions. A really encouraging and enjoyable night – bring on next year!!

November’s Kick Off produced a high standard of footy both out field and in goal. Congratulations to Rob for his Man of the Match award, scoring a cracker in the 3rd-4th play off! Team discussion focused on abuse and cheating within the game of football and how the attendees could be the difference and make their stand on the pitch. A great evening which left everyone looking forward to the next one! See you there at the last Kick Off of 2011, on Mon 5th Dec?

November’s Netball Night featured our most aerobic and challenging skill session yet – coach Nadia stretching the ladies and teaching them new tricks! Becky Deal’s accurate shooting won her the Player of the Tournament medal. Enjoy those coffee vouchers the victorious Yellow team!! See you for our last Netball Night of 2011 on Mon 12th Dec

Teenage leaders from Frome and Bristol gathered in Bath for a day of training, discipleship and mentoring. Using the biblical example of David we delivered 4 quality sessions of experiential learning – think catapults and sling shots and a real life Goliath!! As we focused on Character, Faith, Skills and Mission we witnessed the Young Leaders being impacted and gaining new understanding – one in particular as he committed his life to Jesus.

We look forward to continuing our work with the Young Leaders in 2012 … in the mean time, see you at Teen Kick-Off!!

We spent a fantastic 3 days with 116 children across Bath and Frome GET Sported Camps. The young people thoroughly enjoyed their introduction to Baseball, American Football and Ultimate Frisbee, as well as the mainstream sports of Cricket, Rugby, Football, Tennis, Basketball and Athletics. The afternoon activities offered even more variety with Gymnastics, Art, Cookie Craft, Dance and Lego Club to choose from!

Bath also received a visit from Police Community Support Officer David Hall – not to bring order to a rioting Camp but rather to referee a football match!! Thank you ‘Dave the Cop’ !

Both the children and leaders were inspired by our curriculum ‘Transformed’ – looking at what it means to seize opportunities, and to have a positive perspective and to show strength and courage in the face of any difficulties and during the change which follows. Some children took the opportunity  to become friends with Jesus and be filled with the Holy Spirit – Alleluia!!

Thank you to the fantastic team of coaches, leaders and young leaders. We’re now looking forward to our Christmas Camp Parties! Dec 19th in Bath and Dec 20th in Frome – hope to see you there
