Supporting Grassroots team Parkland Tigers U11’s Black

Tollers solicitors are delighted to be sponsoring the Parklands Tigers U11’s Black team. As a Firm, we are proud to work with local grassroots teams based in the communities we serve and give back in whatever way we can.

Parklands Tigers U11’s Blacks are part of the wider Parklands Tigers Football Club, based in the Parklands area of Northampton. Originally formed in 1985, it is now become one of Northampton’s largest youth football clubs. The club currently runs 17 teams from age groups U7 to U16’s, as well as an active Cubs section for u6’s, providing regular football for around 250 players, supported by a group of Volunteer coaches and a committee.

The U11 Blacks Team play in the Northampton and District Youth Alliance League and developed from the U7 age group 5 years ago, playing 5 a side, to now competing in the U11 Primeira Section, playing 9 a side. A number of players are still with the team having started as members of the U7 age group.

The team has a keen squad of 15 mixed-ability players, boys and girls, with the team ethos being focused on participation, development, respect and most importantly Fun, rather than being solely results-driven. To this end, all players get equal playing time on match day regardless of score lines. This philosophy has been embraced by players and parents alike to create a great team spirit and empowers them to go and express themselves on the pitch and not worry about any consequences, which has resulted in not only competitive and close matches each week, but a year on year improvement as individuals and as a group, both as players and as young people.

It is this inclusive ethos that galvanised the firm to support the club, as well as the fact that through our support we see the benefits it brings to the children involved. Not only does it provide the kids with a way to enjoy sport, it also provides them with skills for life.

With 15 games already played across the county this season, the whole group are looking forward to their final 8 fixtures to complete another great season.

The staff at Tollers would like to take this opportunity to let them know how much we enjoy sponsoring the team, we are proud of all their achievements so far this season and can’t wait to see how they get on over the final 8 games and beyond. Go Tigers!
