Other Teams and Activities
In May 2008, the Spartans began a twinning program with the Billerica Memorial High School football team. This was done with a view to developing the club and squad by exchanging resources, coaching staff and players, and further strengthening the ties between the towns of Billericay and Billerica, Massachusetts, which have been twinned for the last 10 years.
In addition to the senior squad, the Spartans also operate a youth team. Players between the ages of 14-18 are welcome to attend practice.
The Chelmford and Cambridge based Anglia Ruskin Phantoms who play in the BUAFL have also developed a link with the Spartans and there are several ex-ARU players on the current roster.

Famous quotes containing the words teams and/or activities:
“A sturdy lad from New Hampshire or Vermont who in turn tries all the professions, who teams it, farms it, peddles, keeps a school, preaches, edits a newspaper, goes to Congress, buys a township, and so forth, in successive years, and always like a cat falls on his feet, is worth a hundred of these city dolls. He walks abreast with his days and feels no shame in not “studying a profession,” for he does not postpone his life, but lives already.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“Both at-home and working mothers can overmeet their mothering responsibilities. In order to justify their jobs, working mothers can overnurture, overconnect with, and overschedule their children into activities and classes. Similarly, some at-home mothers,... can make at- home mothering into a bigger deal than it is, over stimulating, overeducating, and overwhelming their children with purposeful attention.”
—Jean Marzollo (20th century)
