Academy Players Prepare for Remembrance Sunday
Ahead of Remembrance Sunday, Wolves Academy players have been honoring the memory of those who served from an Old Gold background. The club’s under-12 players planted a tree at Compton Park last Friday to remember Wolves players who served in both World Wars.
Vicar Anne Martin attended the ceremony as the youngsters read the names of the fallen and recited a poem expressing their feelings about Remembrance. This moment of reflection concluded a week filled with meaningful events for the group.
Remembrance Week Activities
- Visit to the National Memorial Arboretum in Staffordshire
- Participation in a Wolves Elders session
- Organizing a cake sale to raise funds for the Wolves Foundation initiative
These activities align with the Premier League’s annual Christmas Day truce initiative, offering younger players a chance to learn about history during a significant time of the year.
“It's really important that we're looking after them as potential players, but also nice, super rounded people. That's really important to us and the boys have worked really hard on this project.” – Natalie Deakin, head of education at Wolves Academy
This project emphasizes the club's commitment not only to athletic development but also to fostering respect, awareness, and community spirit among their young players.
