Beckton Athletic: The Story So Far
01 Sep 2008

Beckton Athletic FC are newly formed as of 2008.

The chairman who set up the club has over ten years experience in working with under-privileged, broken homes, crime-diversion & ethnic minority groups due to his working field of youth work. On his own back he has had much success in the past & has had the opportunity to develop many individuals into talent, some shinning through sports, others in education & some just in their life choices (by going into full time employment & moving away from crime). All this was made possible by using a sport such as football as a tool. This was infact the inspiration when starting this club.

As this new project was underway, the start was to promote the new club & invite players down to trials. We targeted all local groups from many different cultural backgrounds. We wanted to target players that had difficulties in getting into football, or maybe had problems being excepted into different groups, culturally etc. The trials were a huge success & following this we developed the squad we bare today.

The majority of players that have joined the club have never participated in competitive football before & this coming season will be a huge test to them as individuals awel as a group. The players are from many different cultural backgrounds as we also wanted to raise awareness within the area amongst all cultures (as some cultures just stay to themselves) and prove that life is much like a sport such as football, there are no barriers and that we should eliminate any prejudice, racism, etc & embrace one-another with open arms regardless of colour, background, height, weight, etc. This so far has been a total success, e.g. some players cant even speak very good English but have adapted & made good friends within the club & since has created a ripple effect around.

The majority of the players within the club are young players and most are from Beckton or the surrounding areas.
The aim is to combine these players and bring together awareness in many different areas using sports as a tool. Some aims have already been highlighted, and then there are the sports sides of things. Sport can be so key in developing peoples life’s, people not only make new friends but they learn to work as a team, learn to work hard to achieve goal, learn to stay disciplined, keep fit & healthy & the list goes on. We support all of this & give guidelines & tips to people to help them stay motivated, help them getting fit, etc, we even have pages on this website that have guidelines & tips towards a football diet, along with fitness programs & body strengthening circuits so everyone can enjoy the benefits at a click of a button.

Since starting this team a few short months ago, the players have taken a huge interest within being involved with as much sports as possible & many have gone on to join 7 and 5 a side teams, as well as competing in various mini - tournaments around the area. There is a focussed vision within the squad we have, to create a team capable of great things this year and to sustain a successful team for years to come. This is especially highlighted by the fact that many players have brought their younger siblings & friends along & although they are outside of our age bracket & financially we are not being supported, we still have tried to organise as much football for them too & some of them have actually gone on to win a 5-a-side tournament already, So we have continued to work with them & now the future looks bright for developing some youth teams linked to the club next season.

With all this laid down as a foundation we have set our sights on picking up at least one trophy in our first year, and with the experience & winning mentality within the committee, this shouldn't be an unrealistic target, fingers crossed!
