The latest news from our Football in the Community team...
FEBRUARY HALF-TERM FOOTBALL COURSES
We will once again be running our half-term football courses next month.
The sessions will run daily from Monday 17 February – Friday 21 February (8.30am – 5.30pm), and cost £12 per day.
Ages: 6 – 11 and 12 – 14, for both boys and girls.
We will be coaching the fundamentals of football, e.g. passing, shooting, heading, dribbling, etc, all in the form of fun and enjoyable game related sessions. There will also be lots more indoor fun with youngsters able to play computer games, table football, pool and table tennis.
*Additional charges will apply to any scheduled trip days. Check our Facebook page for full details.
CHRISTMAS PARTY SUCCESS
Over 50 children attended our annual Christmas party, which was held at Rainy Days Play Centre in conjunction with the Stags Supporters Association (SSA).
The children enjoyed indoor fun and games, as well as a disco. They also got to meet Stags players Liam Marsden and Jack Thomas, who had fun bouncing around the bouncy castle.
Santa Claus made a special appearance to spread some Christmas cheer and give the children gifts, whilst Sammy the Stag and Sammy Jnr also came along to the party.
We wish to say a big thank you to Sammy the Stag, who also provided the food, drink and sweets.
FOOTBALL LEAGUE KIDS CUP
The half-time entertainment at our match with Scunthorpe United was the final of the Football League Kids Cup, between Holly Primary School and Ravenshead Primary School.Â
The winners progress to the regional final stages at Chesterfield in March.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY JACOB!
