Marcondes & Kvistgaarden surprise Soccer Skill Centre participants

Norwich City duo Emiliano Marcondes and Mathias Kvistgaarden dropped in on the Foundation’s weekly Soccer Skill Centre programme, giving young players an unforgettable surprise.

Soccer Skill Centres run during term time at locations across Norfolk, including Norwich, Wymondham, Cromer and Brundall, and offers fun, welcoming football sessions for children aged 5–12, whether they’re new to the game or already confident on the pitch.

Marcondes and Kvistgaarden visited The Nest on Tuesday 3rd March, where they surprised a group of 20 participants. They took part in a friendly Q&A, sharing stories from their football journeys and offering thoughtful advice to the young players. After chatting with the group, the Canaries joined the session on the pitch before finishing with photos and autographs.

Alongside Soccer Skill Centres, the Foundation also offers Mini Kickers for younger children, Girls United and Match Nights during term time. A free taster session is available, giving families the chance to try a session before signing up and see if it’s the right fit. Click below to find out more and book.
