CARNIVAL HEADLINE SPONSOR
Sport has played a massive part in my life and career. Growing up, I remember the buzz and excitement of the Woodley Carnival Football Tournament and attending is one of my standout childhood sporting memories. This is why I am incredibly proud to announce that uSports is not only going to be a headline sponsor again at this year's carnival but we will also be running the Woodley Carnival Schools Football Tournament with the support of the Carnival Committee! We brought back the tournament in the Summer of 2024 and can't wait to see even more schools in attendance this year!
The uSports philosophy aims to provide as many children as possible with the opportunity to have a positive experience with sport. The Woodley Carnival Schools Football Tournament allows us to do just this by inviting schools across Woodley and the surrounding local areas to come down to Woodford Park for a fun and friendly tournament.

When do HAF camps run?Free HAF camp spaces are available only during Easter, Summer & Christmas holidays. HAF funding is not available during half terms.

What does my child need to bring?Please send your child in wearing weather appropriate clothing. All children must wear trainers, it is optional for children to wear football boots when football is played on 3G or grass pitches. Please send your child in with a water bottle for the day but there is no need to send any food as this will be provided for you through the HAF programme. You may wish to send your child in with a snack.
-
My child would need 1:1 support to attend - can they come to the camp?If you think your child would be able to access the activities in the day with the help of 1:1 support then we ask you to get in contact with us to go through a few questions to make sure that the camp will be suitable for your child. If we think the camp will be a good fit for your child, we can then book a 1:1 coach for the day (subject to availability) at an additional cost either from yourself or through funding from the council subject to approval.

Will you cater for allergies and dietary requirements?Yes! When you book on there will be an option to let us know of any allergies or dietary requirements. We will then pass this information onto our external food provider to ensure that your child gets the right meal.
