Primary school pupils in North Glasgow are being given the chance to take part in a four-day football coaching programme with professional coaches from Falkirk FC.

Three camps will be run during the October schools break at Possil Point, the Red Road Multi-Storey Flats and the former tennis court now small pitches in Springburn Park.

North Glasgow Housing Association is funding the programme which will include football skills development and individual technique, group games, small sides games, fun challenges and competition. The coaching will also have fun themes each day, such as crazy hair day, design a strip and North Glasgow's got talent.

There will be daily awards for the player of the day and on the final day a player of the week will be presented with a Falkirk strip and
special certificate. The coaching sessions will be held Tuesday to Friday, from 11 until 3pm, and each player will be presented with a certificate and Falkirk FC goodie bag.

Robert Tamburrini, Chief Executive of North Glasgow Housing Association, said: "It is often said that we are more than a housing association and this is a further demonstration of our commitment to the local community."
