Football team
- I have played for a football team since I moved into Saffron Walden at age 8. I played football before I moved but felt I had to get stuck into this team in my new town. PSG has made me realise that teamwork is crucial for a good team and leadership is so important. We played matches on a Saturday morning, which got very competitive. We also do training every Tuesday which has made me a dedicated person. I have gained many skills from joining this team, such as: leadership, teamwork, commitment and responsibility. I have found that being apart of a proper team has made me realise that teamwork is really important for the outside world as it allows me to engage in conversations and communicate with my other team mates.
