Do youth clubs help stop crime?

 A youth club in every neighbourhood to tackle teenage delinquency is the latest government pledge. But do they really stop young people getting into trouble?

Youths in Britain are more likely to drink, take drugs, join gangs and get into fights than almost anywhere else in Europe, new figures show. Published by the Institute for Public Policy Research (IPPR), they come just as the government announces its new 10-year youth strategy to tackle teenage delinquency which calls for a youth club in every neighbourhood.

The lack of "somewhere to go in the evening" is a stock grievance among many teenagers and often cited as a reason for them going off the rails. But research shows simply giving them a base to meet and socialise can do more harm than good.

However, youth clubs can be improving when structured activities such as sport, art or drama are laid on. Youth activities that take place regularly, in a group setting, with a clear hierarchy and well defined aims help children to develop better social and emotional skills, the study says. They can also offer structure to children who lack it at home. Taken from a BBC Article

What do you think? Are Youth Club's a breeding ground for criminals and the ASBO Kid?

The 2nd tournament of this summer in Bromley saw masses of people. Some were there for the football and the rest to get on TV !! Channel 4's production company, Chew on it production filmed certain aspects of the tournament and interviewed many youths for there opinion on the new law that the government will put in place. This law will mean that parents picking up their children from the school grounds or a place where there's other children, they will need to have a Criminal Records Check.

Slow & Slick Utd "out-style" Bromley FC in Tournament...

Winners & Runners-up together !! - August 2007

Slow & Slick FC show off there trophies- Aug 2007

They win with a revamped side that saw them knocked out in the Quater Final's in the previous week's tournament. As the rain closed in on the All Bromley-by-Bow final game of the competition, they slid and slided to a 2-0 win, with Ikbal scoring a fine toe punt pass the Man of the Tournament Muhith (Bromley Keeper) from inside the area. As Bromley FC were sticking to there positions, they were stuck. As in the second half, Shakir saw a wonderful shot rebound of as an own goal by a Bromley player, who cannot be named for legal reasons (IT WAS AKBOR ISLAM). Bromley made some last minute subs, but they still could not break the strong defence of S&S UTD as they went on to win the tournament, Mamun from Bromley suffered a painful injury to his toe after punting the ball over the fence. He was admitted to A&E but was later released with a strained foot (They had to cut his nail, to fit his foot into X-Ray Machine ! Urgh !). Get well Soon !

Old Ford FC entered again and lost to Slow & Slick Utd in the Semi's, but there striker Danny took the Top Goalscorer Award. The group stages saw many teams, but one team that entered PHAT United, was created by individuals that normally hang about in communal areas in blocks and round tables in Perfect Fried Chickens. They twisted and turned many players but missed out on a Quater Final place by a point. The team still owes the organiser the entry fee, but they were nowhere to be seen after the group stages. A special thanks to Sol Miah, Reja, Saleh, Rubel, Salam, Sule, A.Muhith, Kayum & his crew for participating. Also a thanks from the organiser Amin, to all the other 16 teams that entered

Name: Oliur Rahman - Age: 19 - Position: Striker -

Oli been a Bromley FC player since the age of 15, never left the club & loves Bromley. Striker by name but very versatile, he can play in any position as he started off at right back then worked his way up to a striker but currently his playing as a winger at Bromley (not happy about it). His been to Denmark to play in the Youth World Cup at the age of 15, then played in the Gothia Cup in Sweden 3 times (The biggest Youth Tournament in the World). Also entered the Nike Tournament (Joga Bonita) which was screened live on Sky Sports and reached the last 8 in the UK. Recently he has made his Sporting Bengal Debut, and we wish him well in the Kent League.

His house is full of trophies that have been won in many tournaments (his brother had secretly sold a few trophies on £bay as well). He is Bromley's Young Superstar, still 19 and he possess a combination of skill, pace, strength and the ability to read the game which makes him a unique talent and a lethal player on the pitch with a keen eye for goal. He had recently bounced back from an injury and says there is alot more to come from him (Insha'allah). He trains the Under-16's and holds a Coaching Badge. He likes reading on Botanics (currently studying English Lit') and engaging in community events. His dislikes are air pollution and people not recycling, so Go Green !!
