Is your child a footballing star? Win them a place on Cambridge United’s Christmas Soccer School

The Ely Standard is offering readers the opportunity to win a free week on the Cambridge United Christmas Soccer Schools that are set to be rolled out once again across the region this month!

Taking place on December 21,22 and 23, boys and girls of all abilities aged between four and 14-years-old are once again invited to enjoy the Soccer Schools, with a special three day course offering the perfect opportunity to play football with Cambridge United during the Christmas break.

As well as the usual bonanza of fun which includes inflatable pitches, zorb footballs and technical training delivered by Cambridge United’s Youth Development coaches, new for the latest series of Soccer Schools are target goals which give participants the chance to test out their shooting accuracy.

Other activities include a personal skills challenge, testing the children’s toe taps, toe taps forward, toe taps backwards, keepie ups and ball roll overs. And as always the Cambridge United first team will also be making a visit to each venue, for a special signing and photograph session.

Each day will run from 9am until 4pm, with a free early drop off (8am) and late pick (5pm) service available to working parents, which means that the Soccer Schools offer safe and reliable childcare.

Venues include:

Chesterton

Linton

Melbourn

Witchford
