Hello Buddy kids love our football sessions. The weather was over 100 degrees - which too hot to play football outside in Los Angeles yesterday.

So we moved inside - learning ball control with Balloons !! So much fun ;-)

Forgive the overdue post to share our feedback.. !

⚽☀️ What a fantastic Girls Summer Football Camp we had! ☀️⚽

We had such a brilliant time at our Hello Buddy Summer Football Camp — football, games, teamwork, lots of laughter and, most importantly, new friendships being made. 💙

That is exactly what Hello Buddy is about: creating opportunities for children who might not otherwise meet to play together, talk together and become friends.

A huge thank you to our fantastic coach Dave and volunteers, and to all the parents who trusted us with their children.

The feedback has been amazing and the children have been asking for more football! ⚽

So watch this space… Hello Buddy football is coming back! 🙌

The sessions are open to children of all faiths, backgrounds and footballing abilities. They will be led by our experienced coaches and will combine football skills, games and matches with what Hello Buddy does best — helping children from different communities meet, play together and build genuine friendships.
