Sign up now for football courses

 

Two new fun football initiatives - a six-week coaching centre (14 May-25 June) and half term courses (27-30 May) - have been organised by the football arm of the Vale of Glamorgan Council's sports development team.

 

Both initiatives will be based at at the Colcot Sports Centre in Barry, with the coaching centre on the astro turf running every Wednesday (except during half term) and encompassing two age groups (eight to nine years, 4-5pm) and (10 to 11 years, 5-6pm). The cost of the six-week course is £20.

 

The four-day (10am-2pm) half term fun programme will be delivered on grass pitches, and there will be two age groups - six to eight and nine to 11 - and the total cost is £36.

 

Vale football academy officer Nathan Nurton, who is organising the courses, said: “We’re thrilled to bring back our extremely popular fun days. I would advise those interested to book quickly as numbers are limited and I know that places will fill fast."

 

The registration deadline is Friday, 9 May, for the coaching centre - there’s a course limit of 15 players per class - and Friday, 23 May, for the half term fun days, with a limit of 16 players per group.
