<div>⚡ FROM THE STREETS FOR THE FUTURE ⚡
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>My name is Llyle Hodge aka Juan Smilinho. I'm a football coach, youth worker and mentor with over 20 years of experience supporting young people across West, South West and North West London. I'm also the Founder and Head Coach of <strong>FLASHPOINT FOOTBALL CLUB</strong>.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>FLASHPOINT FC</strong> is a London FA-affiliated, not-for-profit grassroots football club based in West London. We provide a fun, safe space for young people to improve their football skills whilst supporting their social, physical and mental wellbeing. Since launching in April 2021, we've grown into a thriving community access point, supporting over <strong>500 young people</strong> aged 7–19 through community-based football sessions, mentoring opportunities and creating a competitive football pathway.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Our club is proud to compete in the <strong>London Youth Premier Showcase (LYPS)</strong> League, providing opportunities for players who may not otherwise have access to competitive football.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>WHY WE NEED YOUR SUPPORT</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The 2026/27 season represents another significant milestone in the growth of FLASHPOINT FC.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>For the first time since FLASHPOINT FC was established, we will have a standalone <strong>U13/14 team</strong> competing in the LYPS. Many of the players who have represented our <strong>U11/12 team</strong> over the past two seasons will now take the next step into <strong>11-a-side football</strong> under the FLASHPOINT FC banner, creating opportunities for a new generation of U11/12 players to begin their own FLASHPOINT FC journey.

<div><br />
</div>
<div>A group of our FLASHPOINT FC U14 boys enjoyed a successful 2025/26 season as part of the <strong>Sport London e Benfica U13/14</strong> partnership, finishing 3rd in the LYPS and also lifting a trophy. Following the success of that partnership, it will continue into the 2026/27 season by extending the player pathway through the <strong>Sport London e Benfica U15/16</strong> programme, ensuring more young people can continue their football development beyond FLASHPOINT FC.

</div>
<div>Although FLASHPOINT FC operates within one of the wealthiest boroughs in the UK, our battle against <strong>material deprivation</strong> remains very real. We believe every young person deserves access to a high-quality, cost-effective football experience regardless of their financial circumstances.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>We remain committed to keeping our weekly football sessions predominantly free, but competitive football comes with unavoidable costs. Your donation will help ease that burden, ensuring our players have access to the equipment and opportunities they need to play, develop and represent their community with pride.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>MORE THAN "JUST A FOOTBALL CLUB"</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Since DAY ONE we’ve;
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<ul>
<li>Consistently delivered free weekly training sessions across term time and holidays.
</li>
<li>Supported over 500 young people across West, South West &amp; North West London.
</li>
<li>Provided competitive football pathway through the LYPS League.
</li>
<li>Created employment and Leadership pathways through our youth coach development programme.
</li>
<li>Partnered with local youth services and grassroots organisations to provide holistic support.
</li>
<li>Worked alongside local schools, youth services and grassroots organisations to provide wider support for young people.
</li>

<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>What started as a handful of young people kicking a ball around in West London has grown into a thriving community access point. Today, FLASHPOINT FC continues to provide a high-quality, cost-effective football option, offering a positive outlet and a sense of belonging.
