THE FOOTBALL CHALLENGE

The idea behind this event is to test each player’s ability in football. There are a number of different tasks that players have to perform, testing their ball control, speed, agility, flexibility and their knowledge of the game.

The event is open to all clubs that are affiliated to London Youth; for girls and boys, young men and young women, aged between eleven and sixteen years.

The challenge is about having fun while understanding the different disciplines in football.

The tournament is open to players between the ages of eleven and nineteen years giving both girls and boys the opportunity to demonstrate their skills and represent their Club’s. Those who qualify in the London championships go on to the regional championships, representing London and London Youth.
