Completing their first full season in the local league last year, the Under 9s squad was doing well until the pandemic and lockdown effectively shut down sport.
But now they are back in training with a programme of matches and coaches helping players regain their confidence so they can pick up where they left off.
They have also been given a boost after sport training organisation Active IQ stepped in to sponsor their kit.
Coach Stephen Ratcliffe said: “We’re delighted to have Active IQ as our full shirt sponsors this season and would like to thank them for their generosity.
