Soccer Academy in Gloucester week one

Children are invited to ignite their soccer skills at the ETS Soccer Academy.

Following on from its hugely popular Easter events, Gloucester-based Education Through Sport is organising four weeks’ worth of Soccer Academies this school summer holidays – offering a fun and active way for children aged 8 to 13 to enjoy their favourite time of the year.

The first week takes place from Monday 23 to Friday 27 July 2012 and promises a dynamic and vibrant football coaching course – with staff dedicated to supporting each child, developing and enhancing their football skills in a safe, fun and friendly environment.

ETS Soccer Academy sessions are delivered by qualified and experienced FA Football Coaches who have enhanced CRB disclosure, taking advantage of both indoor and outdoor facilities on offer at Severn Vale School.

Academy participants can look forward to speed, agility and quickness (SAQ) sessions, coaching drills, Fitness 4 Football, educational workshops, skill development, Futsal – a type of indoor football – and presentation days.

Parents will be pleased to hear that flexible bookings are available; choose from half and whole days, or multiple days, with a 10 per cent discount for online bookings via etsport.co.uk.

Organisers say concessions are also available, and you may be able to reclaim up to 70 per cent of the costs for the Soccer Academy – contact ETS via the details below for full terms and conditions.

‘It was Danny’s third time at the ETS Soccer Camp and he has come away more inspired than ever. Thank you!’ said one parent. ‘The coaches were very friendly and enthusiastic,’ commented another.

If there’s one summer activity sure to make the kids put down their PS3 controller and ditch EA Sports FIFA in place of a much healthier, and fun, pursuit, this is it. Show Rooney and co. how it’s done!
