COME and get involved in Burton Albion’s first-ever eco Family Zone.
Taking place before Saturday’s clash against Forest Green Rovers, the family zone will have a green touch to it as we host a number of activities at our usual family zone with an environmental focus. This comes as part of The Great Big Green Week, a celebration of community action to tackle climate change and protect nature
The Family Zone takes place at the Burton Albion Community Football Centre every home matchday and commences 90 minutes before kick off.
For our eco family zone we will be hosting a number of activities, such as:
- Launch of Planet League Competition – Help Burton Albion win the Planet League Cup!! This is the biggest EVER football-themed climate action tournament and we want you on board to help us win. Come and have a go at the Planet League Challenge, try and win a prize and sign up to represent us in this competition.
- Layering up challenge
- Keep hydrated and fill your water bottle for free at our new Pure Ionic water fountain either in the community room at the Community Football Centre or on our portable station on the 3G pitch before the game.
- We are becoming Utilita Football Rebooted drop off point – bring your old football boots (or Astro turf boots), that you have grown out of, and we will ensure they are rehomed so that they don’t end up in landfill.
- Pedal to the Pitch – did you know we have a bike rack where you can chain your bike to whilst you are at the BAFC match? No having to pay for parking or walk a long way. Why not pedal to the pitch and chain your bike up for free?
- Waste Savvy Staffs will be on hand with some fun and games to show us what waste can be disposed of where in your home and in the local community.
Our regular family zone activities are taking place too such as: football, archery, inflatable fun, colouring and much more across the Astro pitch and the Community football building.
Katie Johnson, School Sport manager said: “As we all know, now more than ever we have to look after the environment and we hope our eco family zone is the start of something big. Doing something no matter how big or small will go a way to help to save our environment.”
