Half Term Courses

by Scott Thornberry - 18th May 2010

Children can enjoy action-packed week-long soccer courses with Darlington FC during the Whit half-term break.

The Quakers are set to hold their popular courses during the Easter holidays at Eastbourne Sports Complex in the town.

Footy-mad boys and girls aged between five and 12 can enjoy the courses with the club’s Football in the Community staff, who are all trained and CRB-checked, from 10am through to 3pm, for just £35 each.

“The children thoroughly enjoy our courses,” said Kevin Stonehouse, Darlington’s Football in the Community manager.

“It’s a great way of keeping them entertained during the half-term break, and the best thing is that youngsters don’t need to be top footballers to join in with the fun. It doesn’t cost a fortune, either, so it’s affordable for most parents.”

The Whit Week four-day course runs from Tuesday (June 1) to the Friday (June 4) and costs just £35. Children must take their football kit (boots, shin pads and trainers), waterproof clothing and a warm coat and a packed lunch including plenty of drinks.
