October Player of The Month

Yohan Hakir has been awarded the player of the month for October. Yohan has been totally committed to programme both on and off the pitch not only in October but thought the programme so far, and this has paid off in some great and consistent performances in the games this month.

Well done Yohan, very much deserved.

Andres Oper meets the team

Estonian international Andres Oper called into the programme today to meet the team and have a question and answer session with the boys. Andres, who will hopefully be playing in the Euro qualify er against Ireland in November, is currently in the UK to improve his fitness training with English clubs and hopefully find a club.

Andres was able to offer the team his own first hand advice and experiences on how to take every opportunity they have in football and how hard he had to work to gain a professional contract with his local club back in Estonian, before having to move away from home to follow his dream, something our team can relate too.

A great experience for the lads.

Three Weeks in and Looking Good!

Coming towards the end of week three here in Bolton and the lads are getting into the course well. We have some very focused students both academically and on the pitch, all working hard to develop and achieve.

Overall the lads are doing great and are becoming a fantastic team, working together and supporting one another. It's clear that it has been a shock to some of the boys on the pitch with the intensity of the training and the fitness element of the course, however already we are seeing improvements and seeing he commitment of the boys using the Gym outside of the timetabled slots.

At the Reebok, they have seen two premier league games, unfortunately still awaiting a Bolton Wanderers win, but after Wanderers win away last night in the cup, we are sure that will come soon.

The 2011/2012 season Kicks Off

This week is the first week of the 2011/2012 season here in Bolton for the edukick England & Bolton Wanderers Football Studies programme. What a great start for the lads, straight into the induction week at the Reebok stadium and pitch side on day one for a team photo in their new kit.

We have the highest number of starters this year, which will make it a vibrant and competitive programme both on and off the field. the lads have loads to look forward too, the first game this week against a Manchester college and then at weekend its Bolton Wanderers v Manchester United, and they will all be there at the live game. If you love football like these lads do - what better!

keep up to date on the progress of the lads here or follow us on twitter and facebook.

it's going to be a season to remember!

January Player of the Month

Miguel picks up the first player of the month award for 2011 with a great attitude and consistent on and off the pitch performance throughout the month. Miguel has returned from the winter break with a hunger to impress and succeed, leading the team as captain by example and achieving recognition from local sides including Preston once again.

Well done Miguel, keep up the good work.

Week 15 ends

Time is going quickly here in Bolton for the lads, already 2 weeks have passed in term two, with only 7 full weeks to go until the break. so plenty to do before them. This week has seen the first game of the term against Moorside Youth. the result didn't go our way, a 1-0 defeat, however it was the same old story. Most of the possession but just couldn't convert it to goals. The cold conditions have returned a little. For some of the boy, the first time they have played in snow, but we've had our successes already.
6 boy are travelling to Preston North End today to train with the centre of excellence, Michael, Freddy and Sam Zimmerman have trained with Rossendale United, Michael making his scoring debut for the first team, and 3 boys have trained with Flixton. So lots going on.
This term the boys will complete the FA level one course, the first step to being a coach in the game.
Monday Night it's Bolton V Chelsea, so all the boys will be there to cheer on the wanderers.

A Great Debut for Michael

After signing on for semi professional non league team, Rossendale United, only last Thursday, Michael Burgos had a great debut for the team at weekend, helping them to a 3-3 draw away from home by getting on the score sheet. Michael was introduced to the game in the 60th Minute and soon got into the game as the lone striker and was rewarded with a goal. This week, Michael and a few more of the Edukick England players will be training at Rossendale, with the hope of some more of them adding to the team.

Well Done Michael.

Michael Burgos Signs For Rossendale

Michael Burgos, one of the Edukick England regulars has signed a contract to play with Rossendale United First team, in the North West Counties Premier League until the end of the season.

Michael joined Edukick England in September, hoping to improve his football and progress in the English game, seeing how far he could go. Last night was his breakthrough as after only two training sessions, one prior to the Christmas break and last night, he was offered a contract until the end of the season to play in the first team, and could even make his debut tomorrow away at St. Helens.

Currently Rossendale are struggling at the foot of the league and have seen the opportunity to strengthen the squad with Michael, and are currently looking at one or two further players from Edukick England. This is a great opportunity for Micheal to play with a semi-professional club in the English football leagues, the first step on the ladder of a possible career in football, and he needs to take the chance to impress.

Keep updated with his progress on the blog, facebook and youtube for all the latest information.

Term Two Kicks Off

The lads are back in, with some new players joining us from all over the world, and it's straight into the sessions for them all with the start of some tough fitness sessions with James and Mason out on the track.

The boy have a short term this term of only 9 weeks, so need to hit the ground running and get the most out of it they can.

Good luck lads

December Player Of The Month

Hi Everyone and a Happy New Year from Everyone here in Bolton. The snow is back, but only a light scattering, so hopefully no more disruption in the UK for the return of the boys this weekend.

Well Done to Samuel Zimmerman. The coaches has awarded Sam the player of the month for the last month of 2010 due to his great performances in games and training and continued hard work over the time.

Congratulations, very much deserved.
