MD PE & Coaching-Mini Ballers

13/09/2026

⚽️ OFFICIAL PARTNERSHIP ANNOUNCEMENT ⚽️

I’m delighted to announce that MD PE & Coaching has officially partnered with TASC Football Club! 🤝

This partnership is all about creating more opportunities for our Spennymoor children. ❤️

Although this is now official, we’ve always had a great relationship with TASC, with many Spennymoor players progressing into TASC teams. Some have gone on to Talent ID programmes and academy football, while others continue to enjoy grassroots football.

Now, we’re making that pathway even stronger. 💪⚽️

Through this partnership, our Spennymoor children will continue to have access to:

⚽️ High-quality Foundation Phase coaching
⚽️ A proven development programme built on 20+ years of experience
⚽️ Talent ID festivals and opportunities with professional clubs
⚽️ A genuine pathway into grassroots football

TASC’s Football for All approach is a perfect fit for MD PE & Coaching — giving every child the chance to play, develop and enjoy football, whatever their journey.

Really excited for what’s ahead! 🚀

MD PE & Coaching 🤝 Tasc Football

Football for All. ⚽️

⚽ The Class of ’26 | Barnard Castle ⚽

Great to be back at Barnard Castle today! We somehow managed to miss the worst of the rain and it was brilliant to see so many new faces alongside our regulars.

The hard work continues, with everyone putting in the effort, developing their skills and enjoying their football. 💪⚽

A massive thank you to our fantastic sponsors, SG Petch and Babul’s Barnard Castle, for their incredibly generous support this year. They have sponsored all of our children with quarter-zip jackets, which look fantastic.

Thank you for supporting our mini footballers! 🙌⚽

⚽🌍 Wrapping up another fantastic year at Spennymoor! 🌍⚽

Today we finished our final block of the academic year with a World Cup tournament and some match-themed games for our younger ballers! 🏆👏

The skill, effort and team spirit on show were absolutely fantastic. It's been brilliant watching the children grow in confidence and showcase all the skills they've worked so hard on throughout the year. We couldn't be prouder of every single one of them! 💙⚽

This time of year is always a bittersweet one as some of our players move on to grassroots teams or progress into older development sessions. We wish them all the very best on the next step of their football journey! 💪⚽

A special thank you also goes to Coach Antonia, who will be leaving us in September to start an exciting new job. ❤️ After four fantastic years with us, Antonia has been an incredible part of the team, building amazing relationships with so many of our children and families.

Thank you, Antonia, for all your hard work, dedication and support over the last four years. We wish you every success in your new role – you'll be missed! 💙👏
