Youngsters at CSF’s Mini Kickers session got a surprise at Carrow Park last week as Norwich City defender Christoph Zimmermann stopped by.
The group were delighted to meet the centre-back, who made his Championship debut this season.
Following a set of matches, he spent the afternoon joining in with football games, answering questions and signing autographs for the participants.
Mini Kickers runs throughout term-time and provides a mix of coaching, skill tests and mini matches for 4 to 7-year-olds.
The course aims to develop a child’s footballing ability, balance, coordination and social skills while getting their first taste of structured football.
