On Saturday I attended the opening of the Mitcham Little League football which takes place every Saturday between September and March. Each Saturday over 200 children from 7-13 play football in a variety of different age-groups, seeing so many children participating is was extremely encouraging, sport is extremely important and it's fantastic to see so many involved. In starting the season I was introduced to all those involved along with kicking a ball to start the first game.
At the opening we also had a minutes silence followed by a minutes applause for David Nunoo who was a Mitcham little league coach who tragically died in the summer at the each of 28. At the Canons there is also a tribute site set up in his memory containing a number of football shirts, he is a great loss to little league.
I would also like to pay tribute to all the volunteers involved in the Little League including the coaches, referees and catering staff. Many put in a hours of work each week and it's great to see as well their enthusiasm and willingness to run Little League that benefits so many children each week in Mitcham.
