Boulevard’s players are to undergo a rigorous screening and vetting process next month as part of a long-term vision to remedy the club of their social ills.Blazers’ mission statement released yesterday, entitled ‘Agenda for Renewal’, will see players shown the door if they are unable to travel to every venue, or not deemed to reflect the club’s ideals.The far-reaching plan is a direct response to the problematic past 12 months that saw the club’s name dragged through the mud en route to relegation from the Premier Division.Troubles, both on and off the field, blighted last season with the club having to withdraw from the Friendship Trophy due to safety concerns, and forfeit a league fixture because of a shortage of players, with many fearful of travelling to the West End due to gang-related issues.But, yesterday the club’s chiefs drew a line in the sand after announcing the conditions of their ‘Agenda for Renewal’, which hopes to tackle the “growing challenges facing the community in regard to gun violence”.The statement reads: “A couple of months ago, the Boulevard Community Club committed to respond to the growing challenges facing the community in regard to gun violence and the risks posed to fans, players and citizens.“These challenges centre on individuals who by action or association bring unwanted levels of risk to the community at large and the Boulevard Community Club, specifically.“We realised that we could no longer continue as a relevant organisation without real, lasting changes to the way we do business. After conversations with our players, community persons, our members, the Bermuda Football Association and our sponsors, we have created an Agenda for Renewal that will see the club implement lasting changes.”As of May 1, when the changes will take effect, Boulevard players out of work will be required to be actively seeking employment or education.The club are also looking to re-establish links with Victor Scott Primary School and ex-player David Bascome’s Hope4Life Foundation, as well as set up a Under-10 team to play in Bermuda Football Association’s youth leagues.Lou Matthews, who was voted in for his second stint as Blazers president in November 2010, said: “Boulevard Community Club is committed to more than football, we are dedicated to our community and to the harmonious development of the mental, physical, social and cultural growth of very individual in our environment.“The process of change does not take place over night but with the steps that we have put in place, I take comfort in the fact that we are moving this club in a positive direction.”Boulevard finished ninth in the Premier Division last season with 12 points.
