Football training sessions are being held in leisure centres across County Durham during the summer holidays.
The sessions, organised by Durham County Council, include On the Ball junior football coaching for young children and pay and play sessions for older kids.
On the Ball junior football coaching camps are for children aged six to 11.
The three-day courses, which cost £15, are aimed at helping youngsters – including the most inexperienced players – to learn football skills and build their confidence in a fun and exciting environment.
They are being held throughout August on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays, at Newton Aycliffe Leisure Centre – 10am until 12 noon;
Durham County Council’s Neil Trainor, who co-ordinates the On the Ball sessions, said: “The summer football sessions are all professionally run and will help young people to build their confidence while learning new skills.
“They’re designed to be fun and exciting and are perfect if you’re stuck for something to do during the school holidays.”
