Free LFC camp delights kids
Liverpool FC this afternoon waved goodbye to over 100 kids who participated in a five-day free football camp in South Liverpool.
The 'Goals 4 All' football camp, organised by LFC community coach Scott Fowler and his colleagues, saw 120 boys and girls attend daily training sessions at 'Goals' in Speke, one of the best amateur football facilities in the city.
As well as receiving some first-class coaching in small groups, each child was also taught about some serious social issues ranging from the perils of guns and drugs to the dangers of bullying and racism.
"The whole week has been a great success," claimed Fowler, brother of former Anfield legend Robbie. "The kids all seemed to love it and I think the parents really appreciated the fact that the club put it all on free. Money is tight for lots of people in this city right now and if we as a club can help make a child's summer holiday that little bit more enjoyable then it makes all this worthwhile."
