!! Charlotte brings her England cap to BTS !!

Hi everyone.
It was good to see Charlotte at BTS training again after her success with the England under 15 squad. 
We are all very proud of Charlotte's achievements. She has worked very hard on her goalkeeping. Charlotte knows she has lots of work to do still & that's what is important for any Gks that wants to progress. It just shows you what you can achieve in just 4 years from grass roots to international level.(See past article regarding Charlotte's games)

 Pictured below is Robbie with Charlotte with her England cap. 


Well done from Robbie, Mossy, Jenny & the BTS team.

Charlotte first came to BTS just over 4 years ago when Robbie ran the Dorset Centre of Excellence where Charlotte started playing in goal.

Robbie Said " I am so proud of Charlotte to come so far in such a short while, working hard proofs you can reach the standard Charlotte has, its amazing"
