Please see our 2 catagories below and we would be gratefull if you could help us promote these opportunities to the Regions youngsters as soon as possible.

1. Amputee Football Project

In support of the EAFA (England Amputee Football Association) and regional Ability Counts Projects we offer training and National League matches to people in the Region who have been born with a congenital limb disorder or have suffered an amputation through Injury at War, Cancer or accident.  This is the corner stone upon which Team Anglia GB was launched, this project will continue to be run by Simon Johnston.

2. The Route Back Project

Our Newly Launched Route Back project is an exciting initiative for main stream able bodied young footballers in the Region.  We are seeking to recruit players between the ages of 15 & 22 years of age from the following backgrounds.  County players & Trialists who did not make the squads, Ex Academy footballers and players who have trialled at Acdemies but for whatever reason were unsuccessful, Player Development Centre Players who have reached the age limit and have no further opportunity for development, talented footballers who have not been noticed by the regions scouts.  These players are being offered twice weekly training session in brand new state of the art facilities for the 2010/11 season and a minimum of 16 matches against the Nations Acdemy squads for their repective age groups, With Manchesdter United, KK Dons & Wolverhampton Wanderers now offereing fixtures for these teams.  We welcome Rob Taylor to Team Anglia GB who will overseer of this project.

Thank You for your time taken to read this and please let as many relevant people know as possible about the exciting opportunities Team Anglia GB are providing through the East of England for its young and talented footballers.
