Children to get fit playing football in Slough
Slough Borough Council’s sport and health action team is working with the Skill 7 organisation to run a football coaching camp for children aged from six to 14, at Kedermister Park.
The Slough camp is to help engage young people in sport and physical activity for the benefit of their health and social skills.
Friday will see a combination of coaching exercises and fun small sided games for the children, followed by a presentation of trophies.
The Slough football activity is partly funded by a grant from the Football Foundation and Barclays Spaces for Sport, and there is enough for three years of funding to run football activity in the park.
There are 18 children booked on the programme.
Claire Thrussell, community sports officer for Slough Borough Council, said: “This sports scheme is a great idea for local children to get fit and make new friends.
“It’s really important to keep young people happy and active.”
