UCanPlay

🧡💚 TEAM SHOUTOUT 💚🧡

A huge shoutout to Cowes Community FC Cowes Thunder girls, many of whom attend our Tuesday UCanPlay sessions.

Watching this team develop over the last year has been incredible. For many of these girls, their football journey started with some of our very first UCanPlay sessions, and to see how far they’ve come since then makes us incredibly proud.

Their recent achievements at the Ventnor and Southbrook tournaments are a reflection of the hard work, commitment and determination they’ve shown throughout the season. But more importantly, it’s been amazing to see their confidence grow, friendships form and love for the game continue to develop.

Trophies and medals are fantastic, but seeing girls who were new to football a year ago now competing, smiling and believing in themselves is what it’s all about.

Keep working hard, keep supporting each other and keep enjoying your football. The future is bright for this group! ⚽️✨

We’re incredibly proud of every single one of you. 🧡💚

🌟 UCanPlay Player Shoutout 🌟

A huge congratulations to Belle, who has retained her place at Portsmouth ETC for the 2026/27 season! 💪🏽⚽️

This is a fantastic achievement and a reflection of the hard work, dedication and attitude she brings every single week. Opportunities like this aren’t given, they’re earned, and Belle continues to show why she deserves to be there.

We’re incredibly proud of your journey so far and can’t wait to see what the next season brings. Keep working hard, keep enjoying your football and keep being you! 🥹💙

Well done, Belle! 👏⚽️

Massive credit to Marshy (Isle of Wight Community Sports Coaching) and everyone involved in making Goals & Dough happen. From the planning to the delivery, this was very much his event and it was brilliant to see so many families come together and enjoy it.

At UCanPlay we’re grateful to have been able to play a small part and support an evening that was all about giving Island children more opportunities to be active, socialise and have fun.

It’s always a pleasure working alongside people who genuinely care about developing sport on the Isle of Wight. Strong partnerships like this help create more opportunities for both boys and girls across the Island.

Well done Marshy 👏⚽💪
