This week has been a busy week at the trust with preparations for the game on Saturday against Portsmouth and the sessions at our locals schools got underway.

One new session that we are now running is the Kinder Sport Move and Learn session which Josh has got underway. The sessions aim to encourage primary school children to lead a healthy lifestyle through exercise, fitness, diet and nutrition as well as learning about the body. The sessions are both practical and class room based with weekly fun interactive games and challenges.

If you would like your school to get involved then contact Josh on 01254 304071 to discuss further.

Elle has been busy getting her Premier League girls sessions underway in the local secondary schools. The aims of the sessions are to increase the amount of girls playing regularly in the local community as well as give them the opportunities to develop skills and confidence.

The popular Little Kickers session started last Saturday, with over 20 children in attendance. It was lovely to see a lot of new faces as well as those that have attended in the past. The sessions are for 2-4year olds and aim to increase their confidence and develop their football skills!
