Football fun in the Vale - 18/09/06

 

Young footballers are invited to have fun improving their skills at a series of special 'Football Fun Days' at local Leisure Centres during half-term.

 

Run by The Vale of Glamorgan Council's Football Development Unit, the fun days are for boys and girls aged 6 – 11. Each session, from 10am to 3pm, will be led by highly qualified football coaches. The 'Football Fun Day' schedule is as follows:

 

Tues 31st Oct: Llantwit Major Leisure Centre

Wed 1st Nov: Barry Leisure Centre

Thurs 2nd Nov: Penarth Leisure Centre

Fri 3rd Nov: Cowbridge Leisure Centre

 

Each day costs £13.50 or £12 for FreeStyle members. A 'sibling discount' is also offered for brothers and sisters. All participants will receive a certificate and a prize, with medals for competition winners. Players are asked to bring along a packed lunch and wear suitable footwear.

 

Nathan Nurton, Assistant Football Development Officer, said: “Our football days are always popular and feedback is great.”

 

Application forms are available either from schools or by calling Julie Morgan in the Vale Council's Sports Development Team on 01446 704754.
