"footy4kids patches have inspired my team of U9s to be much better players.

The difference in everyone’s play is amazing.

When I started the season... most of the kids were lethargic, unexcited, and bored....the patches arrived in time for the first match....you'd would think I was passing out £10 notes after the game!

All the kids are very proud of the patches they have earned, and can tell everyone how they earned each patch." Craig
