U8 Presentations
On Tuesday 16th June, in a brief gap in the thundery showers, the Histon Hornets U8 Whites football team held an outdoor, socially-distant, end-of-season trophy presentation. The circumstances were definitely very different to our usual annual celebration, with sterile gloves, Dettol and hand-sanitiser featuring prominently. The team did their parents and coaches proud, by remaining in their six-person groups, sticking to the 2m distance, and standing patiently on their allocated spots while trophies were placed a further 2m from them to be picked up later.
All the players received medals and certificates to mark the end of the season, and additional trophies were awarded for Players' Player (number 18), Supporters' Player (number 19), Managers' Player (number 20) and Golden Boot (number 16), but every single player deserved recognition and reward. We were delighted by how evenly the voting in each category was split - a true reflection on the fact that every member of the team made a massive contribution to our season, and that it was teamwork as much as individual effort that made us so strong. We had a brilliant under-8 season, our last at 5-aside, with every member of the team working hard and improving, and every player enjoying their football. We were all sad to have missed the final couple of matches of the season, not to mention the tournaments we'd signed up for, but we're carefully planning our return to training and looking forward to a chance to play football again as we move up to under-9.

Histon Hornets F.C are pleased to announce their new junior inclusion football sessions. Following the success of our open age inclusive team joining us last season we are now launching two U16 sessions. 7-11 year old sessions will be focusing on confidence, skills and building friendships in a non-competitive environment. 12-16 year old sessions will be focusing on all the above with the aim to create a team who can play against other similar teams in friendlies and hopefully a league. We can also provide an internal pathway and opportunity for players to develop through their age banding and into our open age (16+ existing team). For players with a physical disability of any age, we can sign post to specific impairment opportunities and access to the regional U16 England para talent ID hub. What is inclusion football ? Inclusion football is aimed at helping anyone who needs extra support to play the game. This could be due to a physical, neurological, SEN or wellbeing need. We believe football should be for all and work hard to break down any barriers players may face. When ? Our sessions will run every Wednesday 6-7 pm. Where ? Impington Village college, New road, Impington, Cambridge, CB24 9LX Cost ? £3 per session Our team of experienced FA coaches have a great in-depth of knowledge in inclusion and impairment specific football, with our head of inclusion Zoe Harvey leading the sessions.
