KickStart Activities
Experience has taught us that most of the players involved in KickStart prefer to undertake - where possible - the health and parenting activities on matchdays. However, given that we allow for up to 7 players per team due to illness, holidays etc, not all players turn up and get a chance to do the activities, even if they want to. So...the activities will now be posted on the blog in the sidebar for people to download and complete if they so wish. You'll still need to hand them in on matchdays - and we'll check for names, forms being filled in more than once etc - no cheating or we'll dock points!
We'll add the activities slowly - remember that over the course of the league season there will not be enough time to do all 10 of the activities we have prepared, so if you download them from the blog you may have a chance to undertake more activities than just those undertaken on match days! Remember that it's not just about the football and physical fitness - it's also about other health and parenting issues - and that you can win the league by completing the activities; ie you don't have to be Johan Cruyff or Ronaldo...( but it might help!)

A regular supervised dads and kids club runs at Bartongate Children's Centre in Gloucester every Saturday morning. For further details contact Ismail Ginwalla on 01452 417593.
Childcare may be available for KickStart players children at the Dads and Kids club on matchdays - if you give enough notice. The carers are registered childcare professionals. You can score KickStart points by attending the dads and kids club. More detail here: Kick off! ( information about childcare)
Free Chlamydia testing and treatment in Gloucestershire!
Chlamydia is the most common sexually transmitted infection - it's estimated that as many as 1 in 10 young people carry this infection; the real downside is that it often has no symptoms - especially in men, and that it can do a lot of damage to your fertility - and that of any female partners if it is left untreated. The good news is that it is easily treated and that the test for it is free, simple and painless - usually nothing more than peeing into a plastic bottle, followed by a course of antibiotics if your test is positive. For further info go here : Free Chlamydia testing and treatment Remember - it's 'Best 2 Test!'
