Foundation apprentice Chloe Dobson has been chosen as Norwich City FC’s Premier League Kicks ‘Local Legend’.
Over seven years, Chloe has progressed from participant to volunteer to apprentice, attending an incredible 547 Kicks sessions. In her time as a volunteer, she chalked up over 90 hours.
She was presented with a bespoke Panini ‘Local Legend’ board at Great Yarmouth Charter Academy last week, by the Foundation’s Premier League Kicks Manager Rupert Appleton.
The Premier League is celebrating 15 years of its leading community programme, which has supported hundreds of thousands of young people through free weekly sport sessions and educational workshops.
As part of the celebrations, every club has nominated a Premier League Kicks ‘Local Legend’ – somebody who has taken part in, volunteered, or worked on the programme and has inspired others through their dedication, work ethic and own personal development.
More than 90 professional clubs in England and Wales have delivered free weekly football and sport sessions as well as educational workshops since the programme started in 2006/07 to about 440,000 youngsters.
