Train with an LFC legend for free
A whole host of LFC legends will host training sessions at the luxurious Buccament Bay complex in 2012 – and kids are being offered the chance to join in for free when they spend the holiday of a lifetime at the five-star Caribbean resort.
Harlequin Sports Academy, in association with Liverpool FC International Football Academy Soccer Schools, will provide special coaching programmes at the resort throughout the year, which will be run by Reds legends and a variety of other well-known football personalities.
They will form part of a schedule that ensures our master class programmes take place during all the main UK holidays, and at other times of year. Coaching is open for players of all abilities aged five to 18 years, with the main emphasis being on having fun whilst learning invaluable techniques and skills.
Each special guest master class coach will join the resident team of coaches, who have been trained at the Liverpool FC Academy in England to coach in the Liverpool Way.
To make things even better, group coaching is FREE for guests at Buccament Bay Resort, so when you book your next luxury Caribbean holiday there, the priceless opportunity to learn from the very best will be, well... priceless!

Coaching takes place on Buccament Bay Resort's state-of-the-art artificial pitch, which is also available for adults and children to book. All games are supervised by the resident Liverpool FC Academy Soccer School coaches.
The coaching programmes teach not just ball skills, but all the fundamental techniques, including the technical, tactical, physical, mental and social elements of the game.
Whilst developing players as individuals, the coaching also encourages players to work as a team, both in defensive and attacking situations, including positional sense, communication, handling, footwork, distribution, crosses, organisational skills, kicking, agility and flexibility.
As part of its commitment to corporate social responsibility, Harlequin Sports Academy also allows children from local schools and football associations to use the Soccer School. In addition to building upon Harlequin's already strong relationship with the country and its people, the aim is to help improve the standard of football and give opportunities to all youngsters with Liverpool Football Club.
