Firstly a very big thank you to Dave for giving the Junior Gulls their own board!!
JUNIOR GULLS TRAINING SESSION AT PAIGNTON COMMUNITY COLLEGE
I will keep you all posted with what the juniors are up to!! Starting with a visit to Paignton Community College on the Monday of the recent half term, about 40 juniors and parents turned out to watch the end of a Torquay United training session and then have their own training session with some of the TUFC players.
It was a lovely sunny afternoon and about forty juniors turned up to participate. Guy Branston took charge and we split the juniors into groups of ten, the players teamed up and each took a group of juniors. Each group had some shooting practice, they were shown some skills & tricks, and some practiced ‘headers’ & some ball control skills! I think some of the players were put through their paces as well!! The juniors gathered autographs and had their photos taken with the players. The juniors had a really brilliant time and thoroughly enjoyed the experience!
Please don't forget if you would like to join your children / grandchildren up to the Junior Gulls just PM me for more information.
Many thanks
Lou Junior Gulls Manager
Photos will appear soon!

Those boys and girls will never ever forget that experience. What a brilliant job you do, Lou. The future of our Club is so damn healthy these days. It creates a heartening glow, (as do pics like those) it really does. And in no small way thanks to your work. Brilliant. Quite brilliant.

Absolutely THE best way to interact with kids and to welcome them into the club's family.....................always has been and always will be. Quite simply youngsters want "to play football with their heroes" and the Trust want to take the club to the people ~ job done and well done Lou!
