The South East initiative comprises players from Kent Phoenix, Hellingly Hound Dogs, Kent Mavericks and the Scorpions. It was set up to allow teams with just a few players to come together and play competitive football in the highest league, the programme allows players and coaches alike to learn, develop and compete. We train as local clubs with a number of joint sessions and a mini camp prior to the start of season.
