More than just kick and rush
Tesco FA Skills held football coaching sessions at Southam College last week to give five to 11-year-olds the chance to get active, learn new skills and enjoy the game in a programme created by Sir Trevor Brooking, who in 2007 had concerns over the ‘skills gap’ between English and European youngsters.
Birmingham team leader Jim McGettrick said: “Our aim is to develop better and more technically gifted football players but also to give every child the chance to be the best that they can be.”
