It was a half‑term to remember for participants at the Community Sports Foundation’s February Soccer Schools as four Norwich City stars stopped by our sessions.
On Tuesday, men’s first‑team players José Córdoba and Anis Ben Slimane visited The Nest. They spent time joining activities, speaking with the young Canaries, and staying for photos and autographs.
And two days later, women’s players Lauren Hailes and Eloise Hall headed to our Girls’ Soccer School. The duo inspired and engaged young female players over the afternoon in a fun, supportive environment.
Over the February half-term, the Community Sports Foundation saw over 400 participants enjoy our Soccer Schools at a range of venues across Norfolk. The programme will return over the Easter holidays – click here to book.
