The activities organised by the Sliema Wanderers Football Nursery did not slow down during the hot summer season as the Nursery had a hectic and lively program of important events.

Just as season 2011/12 came to a close with the Under 15 winning the Youth F.A. knockout competition, the Under 12 team visited Switzerland during the first days of June to participate in a tournament in Bellinzona in which some top international football Academies participated, the Sliema team obtained very good results even against these teams. Also during this summer, the Sliema Football Nursery under 17 and Under 11 teams too had trips abroad as they visited Spain to participate in the Torneo Mediteraneo in Lloret de Mar, this was another great football and social experience for all the players.

The Nursery was busy organising also the popular Summer Football Fun training sessions for various age groups and to make it more enjoyable for the very young age group some of the sessions had water games included and this proved to be a highlight for the very young participants.

During the European Nations Cup 2012 held during the summer, the Nursery put on a number of social evenings so that members and their guests could watch matches on a mega screen set up on the football pitch itself, these evenings proved to be very popular as one enjoyed the matches in the cool comfort provided by the sea breeze during the evenings.

In the course of the application stage the Sliema W. Football Nursery project was supported by MUESEC.

During this Summer Technical and administrative Nursery staff participated also in an instructional meeting covering two very important aspects of football namely the ‘laws of the game’ and ‘the tricky subject of ‘Anti-Doping’.

Throughout all this activity the Nursery’s competitive teams namely the Under 15 and Under 17 started their pre season training while all administrative preparations for the new season are being finalized so that the Sliema Wanderers Football Nursery Technical and Administrative staff are fully motivated and look forward to the start of a new successful season towards its mission to assist the young players in their football and social development.
