Hi,


We have 2 kids (boy aged 7, girl aged 9) who are increasingly football mad. They've both been told at school that they are showing real potential and they should go to a local club.


I'm a bit stuck as to what to do to be honest. I've heard athenlay is good but the information online is quite limited. Same for Dulwich hamlet (is this the same as village etc) and Peckham town.


Any help, contacts or insights would be welcomed, keen to embrace their passion whilst it's there!


Many thanks!


JP

Dulwich Village FC is different from Dulwich Hamlet. Its website is at https://www.dulwichvillagefc.co.uk/, looks as though trials for next season?s teams are in June and you need to register for them. They are linked to a separate coaching operation called Football Magic which runs weekly sessions, holiday sessions etc - see https://www.footballmagiccoaching.co.uk/.


They run a lot of teams. My son played there for a number of years and it was pretty well run - but that was a few years ago and I don?t have up to date info. They definitely have girls teams.


The Dulwich hamlet site is https://dulwichhamletjuniorfc.co.uk/ - looks like fewer teams.


Girls United is a local girls club worth a look https://www.girlsunitedfa.org/london-club#londonclub-sessions

      Decision 2 April - Proposed Development - The Sidings, Railway Rise, SE22

      By first mate · Posted

      @ ed pete "there still has to be the demand". I don't know but wondering if developers have been able to make a case based on the increase in demand from 2023-2024. The research I looked at said demand had risen by 500 in that period,  but was still below an all time high in 2022.   There will be others who know much more about this area who can give the rationale in favour; perhaps this latest govt. research is incorrect or only gives part of the story. My point is if, as seems likely, this development does little to solve the current housing crisis at local level for the non student population, I hope that the council is very, very sure that this level of student accommodation is warranted at this location. I have not managed to look at the plans in detail but how sustainable are the plans for the build; how will it be heated, what about impact on water and waste services?

      There is also I believe some evidence that students are choosing to go to universities, where they do, closer to home so as to avoid additional costs by living at home. Personally I think this is a mistake - being an undergraduate is a first chance for independence - but if economics and costs are making this so the demand for accommodation such as this will again be weakened.

      Good plumber - Ade

      A good plumber - Ade Okoosi. He came to do some plumbing for a new kitchen at a flat in Camberwell, sealed up a gas pipe and put in some taps and a thermostatic shower. On another occasion he rapidly removed a radiator. Would definitely use again.  Ade 07961981944

      Interesting the projected demand.  One imagines that you don't undertake this kind of investment without the business case to back it up.  There's one going up near a friends office in the City that is for 782 students.  OK, these are much closer to HE establishments but there still has to be the demand. https://dominusrealestate.co.uk/projects/65crutchedfriars/
