With summer here, have you thought about what you are doing in your summer holiday? What if for only £50 you could send a week in the Lakes doing lots of outdoor activities such as exploring caves, trekking, canoeing and kayaking. As well as spending a week living in the halls at UCLAN in Preston enjoying a mixture of activities such as CV writing and interview skills, first aid, martial arts as well as visiting the cinema or bowling in the evenings. Also you will head to Accrington Stanley Football Club in the third week to plan your social action for a charity and the final week still at the football club you deliver your action plan. Not bad for only £50!! Bring your friends and make it a summer to remember!!
Everyone that takes part in it receives a certificate as well as the qualification be recognised by employers and UCAS. What a fun way to get a qualification!

Our Football Development Centres returned this Monday after a break for the holidays. The sessions split into two aged brackets 4-6year olds 5.30pm to 6.30pm and 7-9 year olds 6.30pm to 7.30pm at Accrington Academy. We had some familiar faces back after the holidays as well as some new ones. The sessions are aimed at children that haven’t played football to those that play regularly and each week a new topic is taught. This week the 4-6year olds were concentrating on movement and awareness. This was done through a game that makes the children more aware of their movements and how to dodge other player’s safety. The 7-9 year olds were teamed up in twos to learn about ball movement and how to get around an opposing player at speed safety.
If you children would love football but haven’t played before or if they regularly play then book them on to the football development centre course at http://www.stanleytrust.co.uk/product-category/football-development-centre/ or bring them down for a session.
As well as our football development centre, Stanley kickers is back this Saturday! The popular course is back on Saturday at 9.30am till 10.30am at Accrington Academy for all aged 2 to 4. If you’re little ones loves football then book online at http://www.stanleytrust.co.uk/stanley-kickers/ or pop down to a session.
