We teamed up with the incredible Fontana Soccer to organise the sell-out tournament which saw 40 teams of enthusiastic boys and girls come together at Colets Health and Fitness on St Nicholas Road. As well as taking part in the fast-paced matches, football teams were given expert tips from Fontana Soccer’s wonderful professional coaches.

The event raised more than £2,000 for Momentum, generated from team entry fees and donations on the day – absolutely fantastic!

A huge thank you to the following football clubs, many of which entered multiple teams to take part; Met Police, Claygate Royals, Epsom & Ewell Colts, DJR Coaching, Ashtead FC, PJK Football, Burpham Juniors FC, Esher FC, Walton & Hersham Youth, Hinchley Wood, Fontana Soccer, Corinthian Casuals, Teddington Athletic and Redhill Blazers.

Talking about the event, Joel Fontana, Head Coach & Director at Fontana Soccer Coaching said: ““What a day! We were honoured to host our first ever football tournament in partnership with Momentum Children’s Charity. As an organisation that works with children and young people it felt fitting to support such a worthy cause. We have been blown away by feedback from players, parents and coaches; a huge success hosting 40 teams from across Surrey. A huge thank you to our amazing team of coaches who volunteered their time in the build-up and on the day itself. We’re already looking forward to next year!”

A big thank you to Joel and the whole team at Fontana Soccer for organising such a brilliant event.
