The Community Sports Foundation are holding open a series of ‘open festivals’ in July, for boys who will be entering into the U7, U8, U9, U10, U11 and U12 age groups in September.
The free festivals will aid us in identifying new players for our player development centres, and therefore are only open to boys who are not currently part of the existing set-up.
The festivals will take place at the following times and venues:
Our two-tier, high-quality Boys’ Football Programme is tailored to give players the best opportunity to progress technically as a footballer and to help them develop socially and psychologically.
Please note: places are strictly limited and will be allocated on a first-come, first-served basis.
