SCORES of youngsters got to grips with the beautiful game at a summer football camp organised by FA-qualified coaches at Stratford Community Sports Centre last week.

The under-16s enjoyed coaching and tournaments, had a go at ball juggling and took part in quizzes but the highlight of the week was a day trip for a behind-the-scenes look around Stamford Bridge, home of Chelsea FC.

Although the camp has now ended, there is plenty more to look forward to at the Alcester Road sports centre before the end of the summer, including a circus skills workshop from August 7 to 11 and an American Sports Spectacular, including tag football, softball and ten pin bowling, from August 21 to 25.
