This is a Myspace promoting the forthcoming Sir Stan Day in Summer 2008. It's aim is to help the "Sir Stanley Matthews Foundation" (based in Stoke-on-Trent) achieve its personal goal of helping more children get into sport. With a number of big names backing the charity such as;
Tv funny man and local celebrity Nick Hancock, the chairman of Stoke City F.C. Peter Coates and the Lord Mayor of Stoke-on-Trent, to name a few.The charity already has made a massive impact on sport in Stoke-on-Trent and the surrounding areas, by providing money for coaching, training facilities and equipment.
Not only does it benefit the participants in sport, the charity has also set it's sights on providing the essential and necessary resources for young and upcoming coaches, coming up with brilliant ideas to get more and more people into sport and helping them achieve a career doing the thing that they love most.
Such ideas include the coaching program set up at Stoke-on-Trent College by 1 of the foundation's key members Miss Emma Ward. This program allows potential coaches aged from as young as 16 onwards to coach young children at their local primary schools as part of a course which will eventually grant them a vital and well-known qualification as a Sports coach. This service is free of charge to the students who benefit from it however the Foundation continually forces out more and more money to help ensure that the program is a success.The Sir Stan Day, which is being held at the Pro 5 Soccer Centre in Sneyd Green, Stoke-on-Trent is designed not only to help the cause of the charity, but also to aid other charities and provide a fun day for adults and children alike, all in the name of Sir Stanley Matthews.It will consist of two 5-a-Side Tournaments (One for children, One for Adults) and other various fun activities. These activities have yet to be confirmed but we will keep you posted on this page and Anthony Fox's Myspace (top friend). We will also send out bulletins whenever we have confirmation on events etc. You can also find information on the date (to be confirmed) and venue on the Pro 5 myspace page (2nd in the friends list).
Although the idea is still "in the pipeline" please note that by joining this Myspace you will be helping make this event happen.Remember this would not be able to go ahead without the support of the people.Thanks for your timeAnthony Fox and the Sir Stanley Matthews Foundation.
